LVS

• The SPICE netlist for layout is extracted automatically from the gds file
• Configure lvs/user_analog_project_wrapper/lvs_config.json
  • The STD_CELL_LIBRARY defaults to hvl cells, so change if necessary
  • LVS_SPICE_FILES_TO_FIX is obsolete; place xschem spice directory in LVS_SPICE_FILES.
  • Currently working precheck: lvs_config.json

DRC

• The precheck runs multiple DRC checks in both magic and klayout.
• klayout had an issue with overlapping standard cells, and needed to be adjusted

Running mpw_precheck Locally

• Within the repository folder, run 

  • sudo make precheck
    sudo make run-precheck

• logs, outputs and temporary files are all stored under precheck_results/*date_time*/
