TSMC pdk installation issue

[im_pam]

Dear friends,

1. I installed "tn65cmsp007k3_1_7a" version in cadence virtuoso version: IC6.1.7-64b. I have tried to design the inverter using nch_lvt and pch_lvt. When doing its layout and press shift+F, "pcell evaluation failed" error occurs (shared image for reference). This error occurs with any of the cells.
2. Also in CIW window i got the error "Error* loadContext: could not open file "/home/path/tsmcn65/../skill/64bit/tsmcn65tool.cxt"


i am newbie.Please help in resolving the problem.

There is a reason why individuals should not install PDKs. Your institution/employer should do this.

Have you seen " TSMC PDK is Loaded" message at the beginning in CIW window??
There should normally be a verification message like this. Otherwise, there are some link or path errors.
Follow carefully installation procedure.
