Hi Guys,

Can somebody tell me how to solve this LVS error? Following is the error listed in the LVS result file.

*/W* WARNING: NO POWER ON LAYOUT SIDE

*/W* WARNING: NO GROUND ON LAYOUT SIDE
*/W* WARNING: THEN THE GROUND NODE MAY BE ASSIGNED DIFFERENT SCHEMATIC NAME.

Thanks a lot

u might have given different names in layout and schematic. and u have mentioned Global in any one.
 

I have used the CPOINT-FILE=cp.txt,

cp.txt:
VCC vcc!
GND gnd!
A A
B B

Why the LVS result says the layout node name VCC, GND, A, B are illegal?


Best Regards
Jay
 

When u do LVS, the pin name of layout should be same as the pin name of schematic. For example, if power pin is named VCC in the layout, the power pin should be named VCC in the schematic. Others like so.
 

I am using PDRACULA, and I only draw 2 BJT in the layout, for each pin of the schematic, I only put text in the layout, and I don't know how to put pin in the layout.
 

which text u r putting. M1-Text M2-Text etc. or just Text layer ? if it Text layer then change it to metal text (M1-Text etc) whichever metal u r using ? say if u have M1 as VCC and GND then put M1Txt over that area and like others.
 

Dear vbhupendra,
Following is some part of the input-layer in LVS command file, it is a bipolar process, layer 101 is defined in my techfile as a text layer.
NP = 1
ISO = 6
B = 7
E = 11
C = 13
TH = 15
SM = 16
M = 14 TEXT = 101 ATTACH = M
;;;;;;;;;TEXT = 101 attach= M

SUBSTRATE = BULK 256

And I have defined a single NPN as follow assuming that there is no other device, can you check it for me, NP is the N+ burried layer

CONNECT-LAYER =CNPN BNPN ENPN M
AND C BULK CONT

select e inside b enpn
select b enc e bnpn
select np enc enpn cnpn
select e outside b acont1
and acont1 cnpn bcont2

CONNECT M BNPN BY CONT
CONNECT M ENPN BY CONT
CONNECT M CNPN BY bCONT2


ELEMENT BJT[NV] ENPN CNPN BNPN ENPN
*BREAK ALVS
LVSCHK[RPCAET] RESVAL=2 CAPVAL=2 DIOAREA=1 EAPER=1

In the layout, I use layer 101 to label the Metal line of metal1 "M"
 

Hi

1.please chwch the pin types (in,out,inout) for both sch and layout.

2.onemore possibility is that some fondaries specifically need the pins in the layout to of the tyoe pn layer type.

regards

vijay
 

This LVS file is created myself, so can you guys modify it?
