I am in a CMOS design class right now and this program is frustrating the heck out of me. I have 3 questions:
-
How does this program determine which side of your FET is the drain and which is the source? It seems arbitrary. I know they are pretty much interchangable, but it is a real pain when you extract large circuits and have to figure out where the nodes go.
-
How does this program assign nodes, and transistor names? This too seems arbitrary. I have to go back into every drawing and figure out which FET is which from the extraction (spice extraction incase that wasnt clear)
-
How in the heck does it calculate the Area of Drain/Source and Periphery Drain/Source? These are always WAY off of the actual values. I always have to go back in and hand change every extraction for nodes and areas.
In case it matters I am using the morbin20.ext extraction to do all this stuff. This is all student version as well.
Is this program used heavily in industry? Its as bad as using MSPaint.
