STMicroelectronics 65nm CMOS v5.2.2

This is the new design kit for the STM 65nm standard cmos process.

There is also a special RF design kit elsewhere.

This page contains instructions on how to use the kit together with the analog
design tools on the Linux platform only. For use with the synthesis tools, have
a look here  for a short description.

A new library 'IO65LPSVTHVT_COMPENSATION_1V8_2V5_50A', has been added (Feb 2010).
To gain access to this, remove your local '.ucdprod' file and rerun the initialization script.
New users will get this library automatically.

A set of smaller rf-pads have been buit by Carl. The can be found by adding the following line to
the local 'cds.lib' file.

'DEFINE CBlib065 $STM065_DIR/../CBlib065'

Setup procedure

The environment is defined by a setup script which is called by the command

> source /usr/local-eit/cad2/cmpstm/stm065v522/setup


The first time this is run, the script will also copy some files that are necessary for proper
function of the design kit. Afterwards the Cadence design tool can be started by

> icfb &


Connect new libraries to technology cmos065 .

Simulation is a little more complicated than usual. Start the procedure
by the command Tools > Setup Corners from the Analog Environment
window. Here, the wanted model files can be selected. After the selection
has been confirmed by Save Model File the simulation can be run
normally. See more in the documentation!

Documentation

There is also an extensive set of maunuals which can be read by a browser which
is started by the command

> unidoc &

Design Rule Check

It is now possible to verify that the layout rules for the design are fulfilled. This is done
by the tool Calibre from Mentor Graphics. It is started from the Calibre menu  header
in the layout window. If this does not exist, try removing the local .cdsinit file and redo
the initialization procedure where an new file wiil be created.

After selecting Run DRC in the Calibre menu two new windows are created. In the one
labeled Customer Settings some switches that affect the checking can be modified. From
the other, Calibre Interactive, the drc run can be started with the button Run DRC. The
errors are then presented in an easy to use viewer.
