cadence QRC提参遇到hierarchical edge file的error
小弟正在尝试calibre LVS+QRC的提参流程,工艺是SMIC 28nm PS,遇到以下两方面问题,求给建议
软件及环境:
1)Redhead 5
2)Cadence IC 6.1
3)Cadence Extraction QRC - Parasitic Extractor - Version 10.1.3-p065
(安装文件用的http://bbs.eetop.cn/thread-355374-1-1.html,patch将就用的IUS 9.2http://bbs.eetop.cn/thread-268069-1-1.html)
4)calibre 2013.3_39.24
一、virtuoso layout XL无法加载QRC UI
按网上说明,在cdsinit文件加入配置,但layout工具栏上仍然看不到QRC的调用按钮。
二、使用命令运行QRC,生成capfile时报错
报错信息
WARNING (LBMISC-215001): file 'via1' is not a flat edge file
ERROR (LBMISC-215002):
it is a hierarchical edge file
做LVS时已选择Flatten
QRC命令行流程:
1. run lvs by GUI with lvs.cmd (fab provided), and make a clean result
2. run lvs by GUI with xrc.cmd (edited from lvs.cmd according to fab‘s guidance).
3. run calibre:calibre -query_input query_cmd -query svdb xrc_test
4. run:qrc -cmd qrc_cmd
