<h2><a name="918666">About Design Exchange Format Files</a></h2>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="918667">A Design Exchange Format (DEF) file contains the design-specific information of a circuit and is a representation of the design at any point during the layout process. The DEF file is an ASCII representation using the syntax conventions described in </a><a href="preface.html#conventions" title="Preface"><font color="Blue"><u>"Typographic and Syntax Conventions"</u></font></a><a href="preface.html#conventions" title="Preface"></a>.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="959453">DEF conveys logical design data to, and physical design data from, place-and-route tools. Logical design data can include internal connectivity (represented by a netlist), grouping information, and physical constraints. Physical data includes placement locations and orientations, routing geometry data, and logical design changes for backannotation. Place-and-route tools also can read physical design data, for example, to perform ECO changes.</a></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="959455">For standard-cell-based/ASIC flow tools, floorplanning is part of the design flow. You typically use the various floorplanning commands to interactively create a floorplan. This data then becomes part of the physical data output for the design using the </a><font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">ROWS</font>, <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">TRACKS</font>, <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">GCELLGRID</font>, and <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">DIEAREA</font> statements. You also can manually enter this data into DEF to create the floorplan.</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="978048">It is legal for a DEF file to contain only floorplanning information, such as </a><font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">ROWS</font>. In many cases, the DEF netlist information is in a separate format, such as Verilog, or in a separate DEF file. It is also common to have a DEF file that only contains a <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">COMPONENTS</font> section to pass placement information.</p>

A value of 0 means the shape on that layer has no mask assignment (is uncolored), so 013 means the top layer is uncolored.

<p><a name="996529">For the cut layer, the </a><font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>cutMaskNum</em></font> defines the mask for the bottom-most, and then the left-most cut. For multi-cut vias, the via-instance cut masks are derived from the via-master cut mask values. The via-master must have a mask defined for all the cut shapes and every via-master cut mask is "shifted" (from 1 to 2, 2 to1 for two mask layers, and from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to 1 for three mask layers) so the lower-left cut matches the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>cutMaskNum</em></font> value. </p>

For multiple disjoint metal shapes, the via-instance metal masks are derived from the via-master metal mask values. The via-master must have a mask defined for all of the metal shapes, and every via-master metal mask is "shifted" (1->2, 2->1 for two mask layers, 1->2, 2->3, 3->1 for three mask layers) so the lower-left cut matches the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>topMaskNum</em></font>/<font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>bottomMaskNum</em></font> value. </p>

Some applications require the extension value to be <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">0</font>, half of the wire width, or the same as the routing rule wire extension value. If you do not specify an extension value, the default value of half of the wire width is used.</p>
|

<p><a name="980091">If a coordinate with an extension value is specified after a via, the wire extension is added to the beginning of the next wire segment after the via (zero-length wires are not allowed). </a></p>

No corrections, such as snapping to manufacturing grid, can be applied, and any extension values are ignored. The DEF file should contain values that are already snapped, if appropriate. The routing rule width indicates the desired user width, and represents the minimum allowed width of the wire that results from the style when the 45-degree edges are properly snapped to the manufacturing grid. </p>

<h4><a name="1014137">Impact of Wrong-way Width Rules</a></h4>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="1014138">Some technologies require larger widths for wrong-way routing than in the preferred direction. If the wrong-way width is larger than the default or NDR width, then the wrong-way width is used for wrong-way routes on that layer. The implicit routing extension is still half of the default or NDR width, even for wrong-way routes.</a></p>
|
|||
|
|
<p><a name="1014139">Some older tools may not understand this behavior. Normally, they will still read/write and round-trip the DEF routing properly, but they may not understand that the width is slightly larger for wrong-way routes. If these tools check wrong-way width, then the DRC rules may flag false violations. RC extraction that does not understand the wrong-way width will also be incorrect, although wrong-way routes are generally short and the width difference is small, so the RC error is normally negligible.</a></p>

A value of 0 indicates that the shape on that layer does not have a mask assignment (is uncolored), so 013 means the top layer is uncolored. If either the first or second digit is missing, they are assumed to be 0, so 013 and 13 mean the same thing.

For multi-cut vias, the via-instance cut masks are derived from the via-master cut mask values. The via-master must have a mask defined for all of the cut shapes and every via-master cut mask is "shifted" (from 1 to 2 and 2 to1 for two mask layers, and from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, and 3 to1 for three mask layers), so the lower-left cut matches the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>cutMaskNum</em></font> value. See <a href="#1004840" title="4"><font color="Blue"><u>Example 4-17</u></font></a><a href="#1004840" title="4"></a>.<br><br>Similarly, for the metal layer, the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>topMaskNum</em></font>/<font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>bottomMaskNum</em></font> would define the mask for the bottom-most, then leftmost metal shape. For multiple disjoint metal shapes, the via-instance metal masks are derived from the via-master metal mask values. The via-master must have a mask defined for all of the metal shapes, and every via-master metal mask is "shifted" (1->2, 2->1 for two mask layers, 1->2, 2->3, 3->1 for three mask layers) so the lower-left cut matches the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>topMaskNum</em></font>/<font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>bottomMaskNum</em></font> value.<br><br>Shapes without any defined mask, that need to be assigned, can be assigned to an arbitrary choice of mask by applications.</blockquote>

Area I/Os have a logical pin that is connected to a bump and an input driver cell. The bump and driver cell have pin geometries (and, therefore, should be routed and extracted), but the logical pin is the external pin name without geometry (typically the Verilog pin name for the chip).<br><br>Bump nets also can be specified in the </a><font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000">NETS</font> statement.

The via-master must have a mask defined for all of the metal shapes, and every via-master metal mask is "shifted" (1->2, 2->1 for two mask layers, 1->2, 2->3, 3->1 for three mask layers) so the lower-left cut matches the <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>topMaskNum</em></font>/<font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>bottomMaskNum</em></font> value.</p>

If a coordinate with an extension value is specified after a via, the wire extension is added to the beginning of the next wire segment after the via (zero-length wires are not allowed).

The <font size="2" face="'Courier New'" color="#000000"><em>routeWidth</em></font> indicates the desired user width, and represents the minimum allowed width of the wire that results from the style when the 45-degree edges are snapped to the manufacturing grid.

Each via cut with the same lower-left Y value is considered as one row, and each via in one row is a new column. For common "array" style vias with no missing cuts, this coloring is a good one. For vias that do not have a row and column structure or are missing cuts, then this coloring may not be good (see <a href="#1002483" title="4"><font color="Blue"><u>Figure 4-30</u></font></a><a href="#1002483" title="4"> </a>).
