Thanks for the reply. Can you elaborate more on your reply. I am not able to understand it completely.
So are you suggesting that the STA tool doesnot model the max trans and max cap correctly?
Via Redundancy
Hi,
We all know that less via redundancy numbers could cause an yield issue.
So what are reasons for less via redundancy in a design. Few things I can think of are
1) High Wire Density
2) Average Wire Density etc
Can you suggest few more reasons for less via redundancy or any...
Hi,
Can anyone enlighten on how the routing resources are decided for each technology?
For eg for 130nm process we go upto 5 metal level whereas for 65nm we go upto 7lm or more. Is there any data to support this?
Thanks,
Ukint
Hi ,
If you are very doubtful of via1 stacking over cont, then better go ahead and place it in one place and run drc checker. The checker would flag an error if does not support it. But usually via stacking over cont is very much permissible
Thanks,

Re: Any idea?
Thanks all for the inputs. It does give me some idea but not very convincing. Even i am trying to find out. i will update if get some solid answers. Thanks once again.
Do add if you come across any interesting answers
Thanks,
Ukint
Please go through the e-book "Art of Analog Layout" which could be found in the download section to understand the basics and guidelines to be followed for critical analog layouting
Thanks,

Re: DFM
DFM has become critical for designs below 65nm and below. I have worked on 65nm but didnot see specific rules set for DFM. But for 45nm, DFM is very critical and there are checkers which need to be run after the layout is drc clean

Basically MOS capacitors are better. NMOS caps are preferred over PMOS caps due to the presence of large intrinsic capacitance for NWELL when compared to PWELL. Hope this helps!

We have seen that the CMOS process is shifting from higher nodes to lower nodes such as 130nm to 90nm and 90nm to 65 nm etc. How is the shifting of nodes done and hows the node number calculated?
Why do we have to shift from 90-nm to 65nm and whynot say 75nm.
Thanks,
Vivek
What will the outcome when the PMOS of inverter is connected to VSS and NMOS is connected to VDD? What would be the difference when compared to the operation of a normal inverter where PMOS is connected to VDD and NMOS connected to VSS
