3、fication Tool Suite,The Assura verication suite is optimized for large,hierarchical,repetitive designs such as memory,microprocessor,and mixed-signal circuits.The software upholds the Cadence verication tradition of accuracy established by its Dracula and Diva products.The Assura tools ensure accura

4、cy and leverage the layout hierarchy of leading-edge designs to provide faster physical verication runtimes.,Assura Physical Verification Tool Suite,Assura DRC Assura DRC(Design Rule Checking)checks the layout against geometric spacing,width,and other rules.Typical checks include material spacing,en

5、closure,coverage,and overlap.Assura DRC displays design rule violations graphically as an additional graphics layer on the layout,and lists them in text les.Assura LVS Assura LVS(Layout Versus Schematic)comparison extracts devices and connectivity from the layout according to device extraction rules

6、,then creates a layout netlist according to netlist rules,then nally compares the layout netlist to the schematic netlist according to comparison rules.Assura LVS displays mismatches between the layout and the schematic both textually and graphically.Assura RCX Assura RCX(Resistance,Capacitance and

7、Inductance Extraction)extracts parasitic resistance,capacitance,and inductance from the layout for analysis and input to post-layout simulators.,Assura Task and Data Flow,Assura Input Files,Run-Specic File(RSF),The Assura RSF is a required control le in text format that directs the Assura DRC,LVS,or

8、 RCX run.It species input data les,rule les,run-specic options,and commands to invoke the tool.The Assura RSF follows Cadence SKILL language syntax.Options in an RSF are specied as parameters,which begin with a“?”followed by a keyword.,When you use the Assura Graphical User Interface(GUI),the GUI cr

9、eates the RSF for you using the settings you specied in the forms,and invokes an Assura tool using this RSF.Alternatively you can create your own RSF.You can specify the RSF le name in the GUI run form,or you can specify the RSF le name on the command line if you run an Assura tool in batch mode.,Ru

10、n-Specic File(RSF),The Assura RSF consists of several sections:A mandatory avParameters sectionOne or more avCompareRules sections for an LVS runAn rcxParameters section for an RCX runOptional statements outside the above sectionsOne or more mandatory Assura tool invocation commands,The avParameters

11、 Section,The Assura RSF contains a mandatory avParameters section that species the input layout and rules le associated with the Assura run,plus various global RSF options.Below is an example of an avParameters section.,avParameters(?workingDirectory/usr1/drc/“?runName peakDetect?inputLayout(df2 des

16、side an avParameters,avCompareRules or rcxParameters section.These statements include several Assura rules that can optionally be placed in an RSF,user-supplied SKILL functions,and Assura tool invocation commands.,Assura Tool Invocation Commands,The Assura RSF must end with one or more Assura tool i

17、nvocation commands that launch the appropriate verication tasks.When an Assura tool is run from the GUI,the appropriate invocation command is placed at the end of the RSF.If you create your own RSF,you can nest parameter sections within the invocation command to specify parameters that apply to that

18、 command only.,Rule Files,Assura tools require a set of rules to guide their operation.Rule les are text les.Rules are grouped together in the rule le within separate sections enclosed in parentheses.Assura rules follow the syntax of the Cadence SKILL programming language.Assura rule les can be loca

19、ted anywhere in your le system,and they do not have default names.The following table lists the standard rule les used with each tool:,Assura DRC Rules,Within an Assura drc.rul le,DRC rules are contained in a drcExtractRules section.,drcExtractRules(layerDefs(df2nwell=layer(nwell type(drawing)poly1=

23、ng DRC rules is to derive additional layers from the original input layers to allow the tool to test the design against specic foundry requirements.The Assura program provides several logical operation rules that can be applied to existing layers to derive new layers.For example,MOSFET gate regions,

24、well taps and substrate ties,as well as the substrate bulk,can be derived from the original layer information with Assura logical operation rules(layer derivation rules also are called layer processing rules).,DRC Design Check Rules,Following is a sample list of design checks for poly1 and metal1 la

28、 information from the layout geometry data input to Assura LVS.This extracted device and connectivity information is output by the Assura program in a layout netlist,which Assura LVS compares to the input schematic netlist.,LVS Connectivity Rules,Connectivity rules are added to the drcExtractRules s

29、ection to establish connectivity between the dened and derived layout layers.Among other rules,the geomConnect and geomStamp commands are used for this purpose,For example:geomConnect(via(cont poly1 ndiff pdiff metal1 ntap ptap)via(via metal1 metal2)label(text poly1 metal1 metal2)label(polytext poly

30、1)label(met1text metal1)label(met2text metal2)geomStamp(psubcon ptap error)geomStamp(nwellcon ntap error),LVS Device Extraction Rules,Device extraction rules are added to the drcExtractRules section of the LVS extract.rul le.These rules tell Assura LVS how to extract specic devices,such as MOSFETs,L

31、DDs,and BJTs,and their associated device terminals,from the dened layout layers.,For example:extractMOS(nfet ngate poly1(G)ndiff(S D)psubcon(B)1flagMalformed)extractMOS(pfet pgate poly1(G)pdiff(S D)nwellcon(B)1 flagMalformed),LVS Parameter Extraction Rules,Additional extract rules can be added to th

32、e drcExtractRules section to direct Assura LVS to measure and extract layout device parameters,such as MOSFET width and length parameters.,LVS Compare Rules,Assura LVS comparison rules include all the rules associated with comparing a layout netlist to a schematic netlist.The rules include run contr

35、formation to Assura RCX3.The p2lvsfile,which matches the process le to the lvsle,and also provides technology-based resistance modeling information,Running Assura,You can run Assura as an interactive graphical tool or as a batch tool from the Unix command line.Assura requires a text input le called

36、the run-specic le(RSF)for each run.When you use the Assura graphical user interface(GUI),the GUI creates the RSF and starts the Assura run.When you start Assura as a batch tool you must specify an RSF.,Running Assura Tools From the DFII GUI,Launch the Cadence DFII executable(icfb),Select File-Open.f
