caps2d rcx

Hi,
I have problem in doing Assura RC extraction. When I finished layout
and did the RC extraction, I found there was a large capacitance between
input and output.
I thought that it might be some misunderstanding in setting the environment.

the schematic and layout are shown below.
Is there somebody can help me the solve the problem?

thanks~

Assura RCX Problem

Check your p2lvsfile, you may need to redefine your blocking layer. I would ask my prof or someone who knows cadence there.

Re: Assura RCX Problem

Thanks,
I have looked into p2lvs file.
This file defines the sheet resistance of Metal X.
It doesn't contain any information about blocking.

example
pro_layer=metal1 ext_layer=metal1 sheet_res=(0.0988,0.175)(0.0942,0.3739)(0.0917,0.6939)(0.0907,1.014);

besides, the process is TSMC .13um 1P8M CMOS.
Does there anybody encounter the same problem?
