I generated .gds2 and .vclef files with Artisan Physical IP (SRAM generator) from ARM.
The exact size of the SRAM block was already known before I generated the above files.
After I imported the .vclef file into virtuoso, I got an abstract (like a square layout without cells) of the correct size.
However, when I was trying to import the .gds2 files as stream into virtuoso, I got a SRAM layout (with detailed cells) with the right shape but much much larger size (about 5 times as large as the correct size).
I am new to the layout generation, and I did not use .map files for the above operations.
What might cause the size mismatch of my SRAM block?
Thank you.
