    Question about creating metal blocks in pad design

    Re: pad design Hi Thanks for your reply. This is not for a bond pad as i have mentioned we are not packaging. This is a regular probing pad, we will be using our own test equipment to do the measurements. I basically wanted to know whether i should construct a metal skyscraper or do i simply...

    Question about creating metal blocks in pad design

    Hello i am working on a test-chip using ibm-soi 45nm design kit provided by MOSIS. We are not packaging our die. Currently i am working on making the pads. I have decided on making them 100 x 100 micron sq since that will ensure sufficient landing area for any type of probe we use (ac or dc). I...

    How to determine the exact dimensions and spacing for probe-pad design?

    Re: Probe-pad design Actually both. I think i can figure out how much capacitive load those pads need to drive & have buffers accordingly. But what i am more concerned about is the actual pad. Is is supposed to be like a giant metal block with contacts? with/without glass layer?

    How to determine the exact dimensions and spacing for probe-pad design?

    Hello I am using the 45nm IBM-SOI toolkit of MOSIS to do my custom design. I wont be packaging my die and hence will be just using metal-pads. I will be appreciate it if any of the experienced designers over here can provide some insight on how to go about pad-design. I can understand these...

    Issues with Calibre LVS

    Hello I am using the 45nm IBM-SOI toolkit provided by MOSIS for my custom design with Cadence Virtuoso. Right now i am working on the layouts of my design. I am using the Calibre tool-suite for DRC/LVS/extraction. For a simple inverter although my design is DRC clean when i try to run an LVS i...

    DRC error with Calibre (IBM-SOI 45nm toolkit)

    Hello All I am starting with the layout of my system using 45nm IBM-SOI models provided by MOSIS. I am using Calibre to do DRC/LVS & using the rule-decks provided by IBM. For the simple inverter i am consistently getting the following 2 errors. All other errors can be eliminated by judiciously...
