<P>
Instantiation of an instance. The type of the instance is given by the <code>model</code> parameter. The connexions are made thanks to the <code>map</code> parameters.

Parameters</A>
</H2>
<P>
<UL>
<LI><code>model</code> : Name of the mastercell of the instance to create (mandatory argument)
</LI>
<LI><code>name</code> : Name of the instance (optional)
<BR>
When this argument is not defined, the instance has a name created by default. This argument is usefull when one wants to create a layout as well. Indeed, the placement of the instances is much easier when the conceptor has chosen himself the name f the instances.
</LI>
<LI><code>param</code> : Dictionnary for parameters of the mastercell (optional : only for mastercells which require it)
</LI>
<LI><code>map</code> : Dictionnary for connexions in order to make the netlist

For placement :
<UL>
<LI><code>_plac</code> : tells if the instance is placed or not (UNPLACED by default)
