2 Objective Objective of this lab is to learn the Mentor Graphics HEP2 tools as well learn the flow of the Full Custom IC design cycle. You will finish the lab by running DRC, LVS and Parasitic Extraction on the various designs. In the process you will create various components like inverter, NAND gate, XOR gate, Full adder, Latch, SRAM register cell and PLL, differential amplifier. You will start the lab by creating a schematic and will attach the technology library called TSMC018. Adding a technology library will ensure that you can do front to back design. You will create a new cell called Inverter with schematic view and hence build the inverter schematic by instantiating various components. Once inverter schematic is done, symbol for Inverter is generated. Now you will create a new cell view called Inverter_sim, where you will instantiate Inverter symbol. This circuit is verified by doing various simulations using ELDO. In the process, you will learn to use EZviewer, waveform window options, waveform calculator, etc... You will learn the Pyxis Layout Editor basics by concentrating on designing an Inverter through automatic layout generation. Then you will go ahead with completing the other layouts, generating GDSII file. After that, by taking GDSII file as reference you will run DRC, LVS checks on the layout, Extract parasitic and back-annotate them to the simulation environment. 2
3 1. To open the Mentor Server from client machine, one should open the Xmanager tool from Windows Desktop. Open Server IP 2. This opens the terminal as below and follow the steps shown in the below screen shot. 3. Run the commands displayed in the above picture and run da_ic & to open Pyxis Schematic tool for design entry. 3
