I met difficulty when transfering library to another foundry

[harryzhu]

Hi,

I have one finished library, and wanna transfer it to another different foundry,so I write one map file and give the opposite layer number to current using layer, then when I export stream, I fill in the 'layer maple file' with it. This can work well when the two foundry have alike layer.
But Now I met a difficulty, since there's DIFF layer and PPlus layer on one foundry, when draw nmos, you use DIFF layer directly, when pmos, you need to use PPlus in addition. But in the new foundry, there's NDIFF and PDIFF which use as nmos and pmos accordingly. How should I distinguish nmos and pmos in the new foundry and map them automatically after transfer?
I think I can do 'AND' and 'NOT' operation to get new NDIFF/PDIFF layer, but I don't know where to do that to finish the transfer. Since virtuoso will ignore map file if I give one skill code to create the new layer when export stream out, I'm not familiar to skill and it's difficult to let me to do all the layer's transfer in skill code.
Thanks for your help!

Have a good day!

Best Regards,

Harryzhu

Re: I met difficulty when transfering library to another fou

Pplus & Nplus are color reverse. (straight cmos)
You can use the Generate layer function in cadence to generate data.
Turn on Background
Add new layer Nplus
In Generate layer Dropdown do this on test cell
Nplus = Background AND NOT Pplus.
DO NOT DO ON CHIP untill checked out!!!! ;')
email me if you get stuck..
Assign Nplus in layermap file..
