Hi members,
I am using the 28nm CMOS28LP technology coming from ST or IBM (or both).
When I am trying to see the DC Operating Point for one transistor, parameters like (gm, id, vth, cgs...), they are not displayed. After I made sure that there is no installation problem, I looked into de transistors model files and I found out that are encoded. Also when performing a DRC on my layout, the errors are not displayed (also because some files are encoded).
Unfortunately almost the same thing is happening with the 20nm techology coming from Leti-CEA (DC operaring Point is not displaying anything, the transistor is like a black box, but the DRC rules are working).
1) Is someone using this technologies and has the same problems?
I bealive this is a marketing stratedy, but if not this means that the integrated circuit design is going to be very different starting from now (almost blindness or ridiculous) because we could never optimise a design.
2) Why do you think this is not happening with 65nm or 90nm or 130nm.... ?
Regards,
