GENLIB_PHVIA.3(October 1, 1997) GENLIB_PHVIA.3(October 1, 1997)

NAME

GENLIB_PHVIA - place a physical via in the current figure at absolute coordinates

SYNOPSYS

#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_PHVIA(type, x, y)
char type;
long x, y;

ORIGIN

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Université Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France.

PARAMETERS

type
Type of the contact to be made
x, y
Absolute coordinates of the via

DESCRIPTION

PHVIA adds a via in the current layout cell, at the specified coordinates. The type argument may take the following legal values:
CONT_POLY
links POLY and ALU1
CONT_DIF_N
links NDIF and ALU1
CONT_DIF_P
links PDIF and ALU1
CONT_BODY_N
links NTIE and ALU1
CONT_BODY_P
links PTIE and ALU1
CONT_VIA
links ALU1 and ALU2
CONT_VIA2
links ALU2 and ALU3
C_X_N
corner for L-shaped (and S-shaped) N transistor
C_X_P
corner for L-shaped (and S-shaped) P transistor

ERRORS

"GENLIB_PHVIA impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a via inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"illegal addphvia : type is XX at x, y"
The type parameter does not have a legal value, but XX.

EXAMPLE

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
	/∗ Create a figure to work on  ∗/
	GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
	.
	/∗ Put a via ∗/
	GENLIB_PHVIA(CONT_VIA, 12L, 10L);
	.
	.
	GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
	/∗ Save that on disk ∗/
	GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
