Subject: RE: getting a global plane into a hierarchical cell

Hi Jan,

I added a pure layer of Metal 1 over the top of your VDD. I connected that pure 
layer to one of your VDDs (might want to connect to all of them??). I exported 
that pure layer. I then made a new cell called NextLevel and connected M1 to it.

Take a look. Is that what you were after?

Regards,
Lincoln

Subject: getting a global plane into a hierarchical cell


I have an inverter cell created in layout.  Node names are vdd, gnd, in, out.  
I want to now create a string of inverters so I create a new cell, called 
test_lay, and place some of the inverters in there and connect them up.  How do 
I get the vdd and gnd nodes to be one solid node in this second layout?  I have 
attached a jelib for you to take a look.  For example I can't get the entire 
bottom node to be gnd.
Why do I want this?  Because the next level up in the hierarchy, test2_lay, I 
want to have this string of inverters to be connected on the left and right to 
the adjacent cells vdd and gnd busses.
The way I see around this is to create another bus in each hierarchy that 
becomes the common bus, gnd or vdd, for that level.  Seems redundant and 
unnecessary.
I ahve posted a jelib called test.jelib
Ideas?
