Help, Calibre LVS Error report (DPR19)

dpr19 calibre

I encounter a problem in Calibre LVS.
When I set Environment varibales in calibre LVS for a test circuit. There is an error report of DPR19, and the next work can't continue. I try many times, but can't resolve it.
CSM engineer said they used calibre tool version is 2007.4 and can pass.
The engineer also don`t know whether this issue is from old tool version .
I also don't know why?
Is because our calibre tool version old? (2006.3Version)

pls help me. ths.

by the way, the error report, pls refer to the attachment

Hi koti,
Thanks for your reply.

The Error Report as follow:

----- STANDARD VERIFICATION RULE FILE COMPILATION MODULE -----
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--- RULE FILE = runset.cal

ERROR: Error DPR19 on line 352 of $LVS_RULE_PATH/INCLUDE/chrt035dg_sige.extract.
cal - this was found where an expression representing a numeric value was expect
ed: -3.81e-08


The environment variables setup as follow:



# SECTION1: Metallization Option Setup ||
# ||
#===============================================================================================================||
# Instruction: User must first choose one suitable metalization option for LVS and/or xRC. ||
#===============================================================================================================||
setenv PROCESS 4LM #Choose one from [3LM | 4LM]

setenv SURFACE_P_CHANNEL NO #Choose one from [YES | NO]

#===============================================================================================================||
# ||
# SECTION2: General Switches Setup ||
# ||
#===============================================================================================================||
# Instructions: ||
# 1) When switch DG_ONLY is set to TRUE, those devices not available in SIGE process will be extracted. ||
# 2) When switch SIGE_ONLY is set to TRUE, those devices only available in SIGE process will be extracted. ||
#===============================================================================================================||

setenv DG_ONLY TRUE # Choose a value from [TRUE | FALSE], default to FALSE

setenv SIGE_ONLY FALSE # Choose a value from [FALSE | TRUE], default to TRUE

setenv EXTRACT_RES_PROPERTY R_ONLY # Choose a value from [R_ONLY | ALL], default to ALL

#===============================================================================================================||
# ||
# SECTION3: Rule File Path and Input Setup ||
# ||
#===============================================================================================================||
# Instructions: ||
# 1) RULE_PATH is set to current directory, it must point to the directory where the rule files are. ||
# 2) User must specify the path (absolute or relative) to the schematic/layout database and specify the ||
# proper TOPCELL name. ||
#===============================================================================================================||

setenv LVS_RULE_PATH "./TT/LVS_deck_update"

# add full/relative path to replace xxx

# SECTION4: Extraction Switches Setup ||
# ||
#===============================================================================================================||
# Instructions: ||
# 1) To run parasitic extraction, user must set switch PEX_RUN to TRUE and specify the path ||
# to the correct pex file to the specific corner (_typ for typical, _bst for best and _wst for worst case) ||
# and make sure the path to the pex file is correct (currently only 3LM and 4LM n SIGE_ONLY typical case files are ||
# available). ||
# 2) To run field profile extraction, user must set switch FIELD_ACTIVE_RUN to TRUE ||
#===============================================================================================================||

setenv PEX_RUN FALSE # Choose a value from [TRUE | FALSE], default to FALSE

setenv FIELD_ACTIVE_RUN FALSE # Choose a value from [FALSE | TRUE], default to FALSE

setenv PEX_CORNER WORST # Choose a value from [BEST | TYPE | WORST]
if ($PEX_RUN == TRUE) then
if ($PROCESS == 3LM) then
setenv PEX_FILE "3LM_TK_pex_typ_file_path" # user must specify the path to 3lm 4um thickness top metal pex file
else

# SECTION5: Compile runset file ||
# ||
#===============================================================================================================||
# Instructions: ||
# 1) To run lvs, user just need to type the following line in terminal: ||
# "calibre -lvs -hier -spice svdb/$SOURCE_TOP.sp runset.cal". ||
# 2) Alternatively, user can also invoke a GUI by typing "calibre -gui -lvs &". To find out more about ||
# calibre command line option, type "calibre -help" ||
