Missing PDK Information: RC Extraction #12
Description
Hi,
Thank you for supporting this awesome DTCO tool and it is very supportive to my project.
Currently, I am trying to do RC extraction with Synopsys Raphael-FX. Unfortunately, I am not subscribing Synopsys StarRC and Cadence Quantus which PROBE3.0 is supporting. So I need to create my own input command file to run Rapahel-FX by referring the 2 input files in this repo: PROBE.itf (StarRC) and PROBE_FS.icf (Quantus) .
What I am really confused of is that they selectively include layers but not all layers in the GDSII file generated from stgen and don't have necessary layers. For example, they include ACTIVE, GATE, M0, M1, V1 but don't have SDT, LISD, LIG which are required layers for the device terminals to be connected to the PIN. I understand BOUNDARY and N/PSELECT layers don't have to be defined since it's non-material and implant/selection layers, respectively.
If you have PDK information (thickness, resistivity, z-coordinates) of those layers, I would like politely ask to upload them on the repository.
If you don't, may I ask if those information is not really needed and I am misunderstanding something? If so, my guess is since those are all conductive material, engineer just pick values of other conductor. But still thickness and z-coordinate (height) values are needed.
Best,
Richard
