What are these error from LVS: psub_StampErrorMult
Oct 16th, 2007, 8:01am
 
Hi all,

I tried to run LVS, but I had found the following error messages:

psub_StampErrorMult

psub_StampErrorConnect

Can they be neglected or do we need to set some thing in LVS window (I use Assura) ?

Hi,

I guess these are substrate contacts connected to different nets. That is why is telling you there are multiple stamped connections.
You need to correct this error by looking (most probably) a short between the GND line and some other net.

Hope this helps

In most of the chip design cases you have more than one ground
net connected to substrate e.g. you have a digital and an analog ground
on your chip. In reality these net might be connect over substrate,
but for Assura LVS these nets have different net names, so it's a kind
of a short over the substrate for the LVS.

Therefore most of the design kits come with a dummy layer to isolate
one part or more parts of the substrate for the LVS, have a look for it.

Or otherwise all your nets connected to substrate should have the same name.
