HELP TO SOLVE ERROR IN ABSTRACT EDITOR OF CADENCE
Apr 13th, 2011, 11:37pm
 
I tried out layout (for UMC180nm) in cadence but unable to solve some errors while generating LEF file. DRC,LVS, Parasitic extraction these are all passed. Even i am able to generate .gds file. Then i went for LEF from abstract but getting error which i attached to this topic.
              I did layout for simple inverter then i am generating layout by using "Gen from Source" in layout XL.After everything (DRC,LVS,extraction, post layout simulation) been done, i selected abstract editor tool -> create abstract- finally it is generating error. I tried to solve by dumping technology file (technology.tf, by using TECHNOLOGY FILE MANAGER) into current working directory but by this also i got the same error. I am not understanding whether the problem is with the technology file which is given from foundry or some thing else. If any one could reply me it would be really helpful.

Hi,

I come across the same problem when I generate LEF for a layout (SMIC 0.18um CMOS process).

I think this occurs because the technology file does not define routing layer and via. Have you worked out this issue? I am trying my best now.
