Hello all,

I am layouting a block using TSMC65nm. I got a DRC error which I don't know how to clean it. I was wondering if anyone has faced this error and knows how to clean it.

Thank you.

error:

width > 0.3 um (W). (It is allowed to use one VIAx for a connection that is > 0.8 um (D) away from a metal plate (either Mx or Mx+1) with length > 0.3 um (L) and width > 0.3 um (W).)
Branch1 = ((SIZE M3Wide_0.7_VIA2 BY VIA2_R_4_D + GRID) NOT M3Wide_0.7_VIA2) AND M3
Branch1HasVia = (Branch1 INTERACT M3Wide_0.7_VIA2) INTERACT VIA2
Branch1Edge = M3Wide_0.7_VIA2 COIN OUTSIDE EDGE Branch1HasVia
Branch1Rec = EXPAND EDGE Branch1Edge OUTSIDE BY GRID
Branch = SIZE Branch1Rec BY VIA2_R_4_D INSIDE OF Branch1HasVia STEP M3_S_1*0.5
GoodBranch = (Branch AND M2) INTERACT VIA2 > 1
BranchSingleVia = (VIA2 NOT OUTSIDE Branch) OUTSIDE GoodBranch
Bad_Region = (((M2 INTERACT BranchSingleVia) AND M3) INTERACT BranchSingleVia) INTERACT VIA2 == 1
(BranchSingleVia INTERACT Bad_Region) NOT VIA_EXD
 

Probably a VIAx error where a standard VIA should be used. The results should show you where the error is. If you don't find a solution, show the error position and its environment.
 

It will be better if you post the picture or PCB file.
 

Tnk you for your response.

The error shows something that there is no component (it shows somewhere n substrate).
 

Did you try "all selectable" and select anything there and in that environment? Perhaps only an undeleted (forgotten) data point of a deleted structure?
 

Thank you for your help.
It has not resolved yet! The error is weired to me!
 

Try and contact the people who wrote the DRC rules!
 

use DFM vias instead of normal vias
If you want more current to flow increase the Row and Column number
 

This error is rule defination? What is the rule defination. Some time rule is big then DRC develper will wrote multiple rule for one rule
for EX: rule_branch1 , rule_branch2 ......
