Yadhunandan,
How Filler is used for ECO cell generation. ???
Filler cell will have all the base layers present in the layer.
Namely: NWELL,PWELL,N and P Active regions, Poly and other layers like NSD,NLDD.. (Depending upon technology)
ECO cells are made using these filler cells.
ECO = Filler + Metal and Contact connections
ECO uses filler and it uses the metal connection to derive the functionality of the required cells .
Let me know if you have any queries on the same
Thanks,
Prashanth M
