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 following the design rules stated in the manual but there's little info on the errors i am getting. Any help will be greatly appreciated:

1. GR10Bx43pd_UA: UA min predicted density (%) with 100 micron tiling > =10 within density_window
2. GR10Bx43pd_UB: UB min predicted density (%) with 100 micron tiling > =10 within density_window

I realize that this has got something to do with the pattern density of my layout but my transistors are as close to each other as possible & I have no clue as to what element to add to increase the pattern density.
 

u probably can ignore this error in the subcell. it seems like you have a layout that are smaller than 100X100. the checking is based on 100x100. solve this problem only when u have a layout that are bigger than 100x100
 

these all are density errors which can be cleared by filling with dummy metals at chip finishing stage. Some times the foundary does this dummy filling.
