Dracula LVS介绍

Dracula lvs command file的编写相对于其他几项来说较为容易点，重点部分就是节点信息的传输与器件的识别上。本篇前一部分讲解常用的LVS命令，后一部分是实例分析与具体的编写的技术文档。

定义器件及器件：

ELEMENT MOS {[type]} layer-a layer-b layer-c {layer-d};;device layer+g+s/d+sub

ELEMENT CAP {[type]} layer-a layer-b layer-c {layer-s}

ELEMENT RES {[type]} layer-a layer-b {layer-d}

ELEMENT BJT {[type]} layer-a layer-b layer-c layer-d {layer-s}

ELEMENT DIO {[type]} layer-a layer-b layer-c {layer-s}

ELEMENT LDD {[type]} layer-a layer-b layer-c layer-d {layer-e}

ELEMENT PAD {[type]} layer-a layer-b

ELEMENT device layer-a layer-b {layer-c} {layer-d} {layer-e}

这些命令用来组合不同类型的器件，以device layer开始，接着说明器件的terminals，为了识别特殊的器件，还会常用到select 命令，比如lab[r] dio , cut res等用法。

设定参数：

Parameter res /cap {[type]} value1 {value2}

该命令类似lpe的attribute ，其中cap有value1, value2 以说明面积及边长对电容值的影响。

节点信息传输命令：

Lvs对比主要是节点信息传输的过程，在connect-layer中从下到上说明可用于传导的层次，并且在使用and, not命令时会自动传递信息。使用connect命令来说明层次间的传递。使用stamp命令使用在没有在connect/ connect-layer中说明的层的信息传递。

Connect layer-a layer-b BY cont-layer

Stamp stamped-layer by stamping-layer {output {[option]} c-name l-num {d-num}}

Connect-layer = layer1 layer2 …

实例操作：

延续上次LPE中的实例，增加了电阻与电容以增加器件的比对，其中lvs_test.cir为spice netlist，lvs_test为layout cell, lvs.com为这次实例所编写的命令文件 。编写的文件中，使用的*.resval, *.capval 及lvschk 选项resval, capval对比电阻、电容的值，增加lvschk[p] 增加电容端点顺序的对比。版图中电阻为nwell电阻加res层进行识别，电容为gate电容加dummy层进行识别。

以下为lvs command file的具体内容，需要着重注意的是connect, connect-layer及stamp命令，并区分器件层与传输层的关系，也因此可以发现nwell，gate都作了区别。
