Layout tool of Cadence specified for IC design
 

u can find it in Cadence IC design kit .
 

What's the difference between the layout and floorplanning? Are they the same? Thanks!

for the floorplanning, each functional block of a circuit is placed/auto placed from block to block within a cell (specified by a designer) , while for the layout, circuit is implemented in more physical (semiconductor) level than the floorplanning, for example,layout the circuit by adding n well, polysilicon, metal lines and so on.

In summary, floorplanning for placing functional blocks of a circuit (system level); layout like routing lines within these functional blocks (physical level).

Hope this can help you :)
 

Floorplanning is design P n R ,
layout is spice level.
 

It is use for drawing stick diagrams. try typing this in google - stick diagram layout chip
