Hi Experts,
I sort of have a simply rather silly question in my mind.
What is the difference between a "test chip" and a normal "chip"
Experts please help me clear my doubt.
Thanks in advance.
Re: scan reordering
All i know is that scan reordering is done inorder to reduce the routing congestion.
In the flow this is done after placement and before routing the design.
Re: Antenna check
We insert reverse bias diode to provide the path to discharge the collected charges,so that the gate wont gets damaged.
This is my understanding plz correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.
lvs box option
Hi Hussain,
When ur doing LVS for top you have the TOP CDL file where inside the TOP CDL file you will INCLUDE all the other CDL files.
I guess inside this file you need to specify the list of cells u want Calibre to treat as black boxes.you can do search if you have calibre...
Hi,
DRC means Design Rule check(like width of metal,Distance b/w two wires etc)
DFM mean Design for manufacturing which means the issues related to Leakage power,Dynamic power
Hope this helps.
disadvantages of low vt cmos device
The difference that i know is the amount of doping the diffusion, the difference in the threshold voltage makes them different from eachother.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Re: Timing closure
Yes even i have heard about ETS (Encounter Timing System) which is the timing signoff tool from cadence just like Synopsys Primetime.
max_fanout max_cap
You mean to say HFNS is for reset and Scan.
and CTS is for clock.I think Clock also comes under Hign FanOut Net(HFN).
Please clear me i am confused.
Thanks,

Re: Wire load Model
Hi,
R = V / i
= (q/C) / (q/t)
= t / C
Therefore t = RC
The product ‘RC’ is called the
“TIME CONSTANT”
This determines the delay of the cell
Hope it helps,
Thanks,
Chinni.
Re: Flip-Chip
Hi all,
Here i am attaching a file with flipchip information and its advantages over wirebond,I hope this helps.
As per coming to the library for bumps i dont think we need(or get anywhere) any special library for bumps(If doing P&R).
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks...
Re: what is cell delay?and cell delay depends upon what para
Hi,
As per i know
Total delay or path delay = Cell delay + Net delay
“Net Delay” refers to the total time needed to charge or discharge all the
parasitics of a given net
Total net parasitics are affected by
net length...
Re: rule deck format
Hi,
I guess if you are talking about the DRC/LVS rule deck files then the format is the same whether it is synopsys or cadence.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks,
Chinni.
