Now the question is , How do i import them (PDK libraries) in virtuoso ? Can someone give me some documentation or link?

 

[micpro]

put a line like

INCLUDE /myinstalldirectory/CRN65LP_v1.5a_official_IC61_20091204_b/cds.lib

into your cds.lib file of the working directory before you start virtuoso. Then it should show up in library manager.
