Calibre LVS extraction with multiple fingers

$

0

Hello,

 

I am using Cadence 6.1.6 with Mentor calibre v2015 3_37.23.

I have a problem when I do the LVS test: in my schematic, I instancied a nmos transistor (width = 960nm with 3 fingers of 320nm each). However, when I perform the LVS test, it considers that I instanciated 3 nmos of 320 nm each and not one single transistor:

 

M3(-4.090,4.480)  MP(PCH_25)                              MM4  MP(PCH_25)

w: 0.32 u                                                 w: 0.96 u                   66.7%

 

Therefore, I have also 2 missing instance errors since it considers I have 3 nch transistors in my layout and only one in my schematic.

Do you know which options I should add to the GUI or to my rulefile in order to avoid this ?

 

 

Here is my rulefile setp up:

 

LVS SPICE PREFER PINS         YES

LVS ABORT ON SUPPLY ERROR        NO

LVS ALL CAPACITOR PINS SWAPPABLE YES

LVS RECOGNIZE GATES              NONE

LVS IGNORE PORTS                 NO

LVS CHECK PORT NAMES             YES

LVS REDUCE PARALLEL BIPOLAR      YES

LVS REDUCE PARALLEL MOS          YES

LVS REDUCE PARALLEL DIODES       YES

LVS REDUCE PARALLEL CAPACITORS   YES

LVS REDUCE PARALLEL RESISTORS    YES

LVS REDUCE SERIES RESISTORS      YES      //Smashes series resistors

LVS REDUCE SERIES CAPACITORS     YES      //Smashes series capacitors

LVS REDUCE SPLIT GATES           NO     //Smashes MOS split-gates.

 

Best regards,

Edouard
