Looks like an Antenna Rule violation: the M2 area (cf. the given 56-Vertex M2 polygon) is too large (> 20%) in relation to the connected pMOS S/D implant area, I guess.

To avoid it, you could either
  • insert layer hopping (M2 - Mx - M2 , x=(1||3)) between the interior (S-)taps
    or
  • increase the associated p+ implant (S resp. D) area.
Perhaps you might find an explanation of the GR594 violation in your PDK docu?
 
Hello,
thanks for your explaintion. I just get over this problem. Do you know how I did it? Neither insert layer nor the area, which I try first is not avilialbe, I just decrease the vias from the NW to M1, just leaves 1/4 of the orginal. I don't know why to do this, but which is very useful.
