Hi all,
Can someone give me a list of common DRCs that can see in Layout and the fixes for it ?
quickly coming out of my head,
1. spacing issue( metal to metal, well to well)
2. antenna effect
3. metal density
can someone continue the list here? also can you provide possible solutions too?
Thanks in advance !!
Hi,
There are different kind of DRCs depending on the Technology that you are going to work on. As you go into lower technologies the number of layers that are going to be used and the DRCs to be satisfied will get complex.
1. Min and Max width of Different layers (Metal, Poly, Diffusion etc.,)
2. Min and Max spacing between different layers
3. Dimensions of VIA and Contacts
4. Min area of different layers (Metal, Diffussion, N-well)
5. N-Implant, P- Implant, Vt layer, N-well DRCs which will include min area, abutment, Overlap, spacing and width)
6. Dummy poly width and spacing DRCs
7. LUP- Latch-up (Related to substrate or body connection)
8. Density DRCs
You can refer DRM from respective foundry for detailed information
