Hi all.
I am trying to do LVS using std. cells from foundry. I am using Cadence tools with Calibre LVS. I am currently using an inverter (with input and output pins) as a test case.
1. Anyone know how to handle inherited gnd/vdd in layout? I see them in the schematic netlist, but I dont know how to include them in the layout. Are there any settings I can set in Calibre LVS.
2. So far I have only achieved to perform LVS by blackboxing the standard cell. I am aware of that this only checks the connections/routing between the standard cells and it does not check the layers inside the standard cell. (I am referring to the Metal1 routes in the standard cell)
I would like to be able to check the routing layers in the standard cell as well. When I run Hierarchical LVS (.gds exported from layout) I get the following errors:
"Nothing in layout"
"Corresponding cells could not be identified"
"Nothing in layout"
I used CALIBRE DESIGNrev and verified that the exported .gds file has all the cells and layers.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
