I am using Calibre PEX for parasitics extraction in Cadence Custom IC,
and I need to further process the netlist that is generated by
xCalibre. My major problem is that all the net names are converted to
numbers and this numbering system is used to identify names. I need to
keep some specific names on some nets.
I have the impression that I can use labels drawn on a specific layer
on the layout. Then in the calibre rule file add a statement like the
followng:
LAYER textL 510
LAYER MAP 230 DATATYPE 0 510
LAYER MAP 230 DATATYPE >= 0 230
TEXT LAYER textL
ATTACH textL Metal5 MASK
where 230 is the layer number of the layer which I use to draw the
label ('text), and datatype 0 is the purpose used ('drawing')
I have put some labels on Metal5 layer, but it seems that I have
missed something important. Could someone please enlightenme on what
is wrong?
