From the Synopsys Library Compiler manual:

The Library Compiler tool from Synopsys captures ASIC libraries and translates them into Synopsys internal database format for physical synthesis or into VHDL format for simulation.

You canrefer to Nangate - The Design Optimization Company - Home and use its open Cell 45nm Library.
NanGate says :

The Nangate 45nm Open Cell Library is an open-source, standard-cell library provided for the purposes of testing and exploring EDA flows.
