The latest released Electric version is 8.04. It will be easier for me to help you with technology tuning of Electric 8.04, because I already forgot many things from C Eelctric. For now, I see that Electric 8 reads technology libraries from Electric 7 with errors. I can look more tomorrow (on my work computer). However, if you can recreate the technology library in Electric 8 , then I shall look immediatly at technology issues in Electric 8 rather than dealing with incompatibilities of Electric 8 and Electric 7. Moreover, I am developing an Xml format for technology description which will apper in Electric 8.05 . I beleive that AMI technology example can be a test of usability of Xml technology description. -Dima --Boundary_(ID_9P4t7mRO0klHvZRKE1wVjw) Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary="Boundary_(ID_0dCs0HOrBGj6Aen1tHRM5g)" Content-transfer-encoding: 8BIT --Boundary_(ID_0dCs0HOrBGj6Aen1tHRM5g) Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT Hello, I've since found that the metal spacing error mentioned below does get detected by the DRC. I've also discovered that connecting to the transistor pins is better than I first thought, if I work with it, but I still haven't been able to avoid OVERLAP DRC errors. Thank you, Pierce Pierce Keating <[email protected]> wrote: Hello, I have have been attempting to modify the mocmos library for the (MOSIS) AMI 1.5u SCNA ABN process. In the modified technology, I built an NPN transistor using a pbase layer, all created according to the SCNA layer map as described here: http://www.mosis.com/Technical/Layermaps/lm-scmos_scna.html (I also removed the P-Well in the N-Transistor, since this process does not have a P-Well.) There are at least two issues I have run into. First I deliberately included a metal1-metal1 spacing error to see if the DRC would detect the error but it doesn't. Also, I can't seem to connect to the pins of the npn transistor Node, when trying to use the node in a layout. Actually I can connect to them but not without a DRC metal1 spacing error. For other nodes, the layout editor seems to know to connect a metal1 arc to a metal1 port, and without DRC errors. I've attached the libary to this email. If anyone would check it out and let me know what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate it very much.
