TSPICE or HSPICE, tanner2virtuso

[boki]

Hi, All:

1. TSPICE or HSPICE?
2. Can I use Tanner to layout my circuit than converts it as GDS for virtuso?


Thanks a lot.
Boki.

1. I will avoid answering to this question.
Why not Spectre ?

2. Yes. And also from Virtuoso to Tanner/L-Edit.
Those 2 editors are compliant to the GDSII standard.

The only thing that I have experienced, is the instancing
with non-manhattan rotations which are not supported in Virtuoso,
streamIn, and StreamOut.
They are fully supported in Tanner/L-Edit and compliant to the
GDS standard.
The only solution I found to this problem, is to flatten those
instances in L-Edit and export the GDS to be in Virtuoso.

Kholdoun,
I m curious where you found non-manhattan rotations. A logo that was
laid out with hierarchy ?
