Hi everyone,
I would like to ask here how you normally deal with metal fill generation over large arrays.
Often, in smaller nodes, the matching array is big enough to require metal fill, but I have seen different approaches so far to handle it.
Up to now, the best in my opinion would be to manually generate metal fill shapes over the devices' active areas, in a regular way so all devices are covered with same amount of metal in all metal levels. But this requires a bit of manual work.
I am curious to know if somebody has any other ideas or suggestions for approaching this problem.
Thanks in advance
