 16 Jan 2007 18:54 [HLP]tsmc undefined model error |
|
|
|
If we get nmos from analogLib and appoint its model from TSMC PDK , the
simulation is good. But if we get nmos from TSMC PDK directly and also use
PDK model, the simulation is error. The information is listed as the
following. And the same file will be simulated well in other people's machine. My
computer's OS is RedHat AS4 and IC5141. Why this happened? Thanks for help!!!
Command line: /cadence/tools.lnx86/spectre/bin/32bit/spectre -env artist5.1.0 \ +escchars +log ../psf/spectre.out +inter=mpsc \ +mpssession=spectre1_3572_12 -format psfbin -raw ../psf \ +lqtimeout 900 input.scs spectre pid = 3918

Simulating `input.scs' on ZYT at 10:31:27 AM, Sun Jul 3, 2005.
Error found by spectre during circuit read-in. input.scs: NM0 is an instance of an undefined model nmos2v.
spectre terminated prematurely due to fatal error.

The problem is that your model file is not mapped or linked to the spectre DECK generated.
i can give you pointers which you can try:
1. check the TSMC model file if you are missing out some parameters to include for the DECK.
2. check the path correctly (either using GUI or command mode) and the model name you are using.

Tarun,
I got the same problem. Can you give us more hints or detail to fix this problem?
Thanks

| It seems that you are using the Base version of IC5141. This version has some well known problems of undefined devices. Upgrade your IC5141 with latest USR5.

Hi! Tsinghua
I'm using IC5141USR4. It installed USR4 up 96%, it asked for Base and I put Base to finish installation. Is that problem due to 4% left of BASE. When It ask for BASE, should I skip it?
Is that any alternative way to solve this problem?
Tsinghua, one more problem, in some technology, when I add instance, no parameter of NMOS or PMOS show up to change the Width or Length even though I already compile the technology. Do you know what the problem is?
Thanks

Hi,pigkiller
cd your_INSTALL_DIR/tools/dfII
mkdir local
cp your_INSTALL_DIR/tools/dfII/samples/local/cdsinit your_INSTALL_DIR/tools/dfII/local/.cdsinit
That's ok...
