I am connecting my mim cap to one of the drain of a MOS. As I connect the Plus side of the mim cap to the drain of the MOSFET, I get this error

"Unbalanced structure is not allowed."
STAMP unBal_CTM_M8 CTM A.R.MIM.1:M8:A
ANTENNA -gt 0.000000 A.R.MIM.1:M8:A M8i A.R.MIM.1:M8:L262206
STAMP unBal_CTM_M8 CBM A.R.MIM.1:M8:B
ANTENNA -gt 0.000000 A.R.MIM.1:M8:B M8i A.R.MIM.1:M8:L262208
ANTENNA -gt 0.000000 CTM M8i GATE SD A.R.MIM.1:M8:L262209
ANTENNA -gt 0.000000 CBM M8i GATE SD A.R.MIM.1:M8:L262210


I am not able to understand how can I resolve this.

For the node that has the lower metal, take it up the the highest metal and back down so both ends of the mim cap start from Met5 ..

A node: Metal 5 > Signal
B node Metal 4 >Via4> Metal 5 > Via4 >Metal 4 > signal

This will balance the mim cap.

This is the Way...

The above problem is solved by using od to metal 8 vias on both the side of the mimcap to balance it.
