Hello,
I am in confusion about the symmetric inductor of IBM cms9flp. When I use it in my layout created by pcell, then a square sized box appears only with a blinking message -"unsupported stack", until the 'default' key is clicked in the 'create instance' box. When the 'default' is clicked, then the 'spiral metalization' field of the 'create instance' box automatically changes from 'unsupported stack' to 'LDx0L'. The inductor can be placed then in the layout, which is red in color but very hazy. I found no such problem for the symmetric parallel inductor of the same PDK. I use cadence ic6.
Anyone please tell me whether it is an error or not.
Thank you.

you must create your library using virtuoso>ibm_pdk>library>create and choose the metallization stack offered by your fab provider. if you are a mosis customer it is better that you ask them for support.
 

Thank you oermens for your reply,
I created my library from the ibm_pdk drop down window and used the correct metal stack. Even I can use symmetric parallel inductor without any problem. That is what makes me perplexed ...
