GENLIB_PHVIA.3alc - Man Page

place a physical via in the current figure at absolute coordinates

Synopsis

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

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();
}
