Cadence loses width of transistor in netlist when using variables

[tummop]

Hello everybody,

I've been encountering a very strange problem, recently.


I am using the GPDK090 package with IC6.1.4.500.6 where i try to use a variable for the length and width for the transistor nmos1v.

Unfortunatly, when the netlist is generated, cadence somehow does not include the parameter width(and those who are dependent on it) in the netlist file.

It looks like this:

NM0 (out in 0 0) gpdk090_nmos1v l=L_N m=(1)*(1)

Where it should look something like this:

NM0 (out in 0 0) gpdk090_nmos1v w=(W_N) l=L_N as=84f ad=84f \
        ps=860n pd=860n m=(1)*(1)

Anyhow, when i put in numeric values for the width of the transistor, there is no problem:

NM0 (out in 0 0) gpdk090_nmos1v w=(300n) l=300n as=84f ad=84f \
        ps=860n pd=860n m=(1)*(1)

Does anyone does have a clue what might be the probleme here?

Thank you very much!
