Hi
I am learning how to use virtuoso XL, and know little about this, so
maybe my question is somehow stupid, please give me some hint.:)
the question is:
I have written the symContactDevice() in the technology file, and I
created a device (cdsVia) in Qcell. I am trying to insert this QCell
Device into the layout. As the "Virtuoso XL Layout Editor User Guide"
told, I should choose "Create - device", but this term is dark, which
means I can not choose it. I do not why, may anyone tell me the
solution?
And I am still confused about the meaning of QCell, is it a kind of
PCell which is just used in VXL layout editor, I found when I created
the "cdsVia", my technology file automatically changed: there are
corresponding term added in Deivce Rules, so I wonder if QCell is the
another way of writing the Device Rules in technology file?
Thanks!
