After re-running LVS, in the LVS window, press the button "Build Analog". If there was an LVS problem, it will just say "There was an LVS error." If there wasn't, this will open a second window. Just press ok to "Include All". This will create a new cell view called "analog_extracted". You can open this new view and it will look like a mash-up of your schematic and layout. This matched the parasitics from your layout with your schematic. It is pretty hard to see details in a big layout though.

Then, to simulate the back-annotated view, you simply go to your Schematic and set up your Spectre simulation as normal. (In fact, you can just load the saved setup from the spectre.run1 directory.) Confirm that it works for the schematic. Then, go to Spectre->Netlist and Simulate, but instead of the view being "schematic", you make it "analog_extracted" and run it again like this:

To confirm this, look in your run directory after you run a back-annotated simulation and view the "netlist" file in the unix shell and you should see a bunch of transistors and capacitors. The inputs should be named normally, but other internal nets may not. Here is an example from my inverter:

In order to include the extra interconnect parasitics, we must re-extract our layout, but with an additional flags enabled. When you select Verify->Extract in the layout window, click the "Set Switches" button. This will open an additional window with a set of options. Highlight the "Extract_parasitic_caps" option. This will put parasitic resistors and capacitors in the new extracted view.

The above simulation did not actually include the parasitic capacitances and resistances of the interconnect. Spectre (or hSpice) will by default use the gate area (L and W) to estimate the gate capacitance, but additional poly is not considered. If you specified perimeters (ps, pd) and areas (as, ad) in the pcell form, it will include those estimates in simulation. However, it does not include any extra routing, contacts, diffusion, etc. In order to include these, you need to perform parasitic extraction and back-annotation. The extraction is similar to the device extraction you used to extract a netlist for LVS, but now it extracts parasitic resistances and capacitances too.

Your design must pass DRC and LVS to do this.

SCMOS Method

In order to include the extra interconnect parasitics, we must have done DRC, Extract, and LVS. There can be absolutely no errors or warnings in LVS. For example, even this doesn't allow back-annotation: 

termbad.out:
? Terminal A's type in the schematic: input, in the layout: inputOutput

You should see this at the bottom of your LVS report if you have no errors or warnings:

audit.out:


Now, you are ready to back-annotate. However, in order to include the extra interconnect parasitics, we must re-extract our layout, but with an additional flags enabled. When you select Verify->Extract in the layout window, click the "Set Switches" button. This will open an additional window with a set of options. Highlight the "Extract_parasitic_caps" option. This will put parasitic resistors and capacitors in the new extracted view.

After re-running LVS, in the LVS window, press the button "Build Analog". If there was an LVS problem, it will just say "There was an LVS error." If there wasn't, this will open a second window. Just press ok to "Include All". This will create a new cell view called "analog_extracted". You can open this new view and it will look like a mash-up of your schematic and layout. This matched the parasitics from your layout with your schematic. It is pretty hard to see details in a big layout though.

Then, to simulate the back-annotated view, you simply go to your Schematic and set up your Hspice simulation as normal. (In fact, you can just load the saved setup from the Hspice run directory.) Confirm that it works for the schematic. Then, go to Hspice->Netlist and Simulate, but instead of the view being "schematic", you make it "analog_extracted" and run it again like this:

Simulatebackannotated.jpg

Now it should have parasitics too!

To confirm this, look in your run directory after you run a back-annotated simulation and view the "netlist" file in the unix shell and you should see a bunch of transistors and capacitors. The inputs should be named normally, but other internal nets may not. Here is an example from my inverter: 

// Library name: mylib
// Cell name: invx1
// View name: analog_extracted
\+1 (Z A vdd! vdd!) tsmc18dP w=2.7e-07 l=1.8e-07 as=1.539e-13 ad=1.539e-13 \
        ps=1.35e-06 pd=1.35e-06 m=1 region=sat
\+5 (A 0) capacitor c=2.27853e-17 m=1
\+4 (Z 0) capacitor c=2.87838e-17 m=1
\+3 (vdd! 0) capacitor c=1.29997e-16 m=1
\+2 (vdd! Z) capacitor c=2.87838e-17 m=1
\+0 (Z A 0 0) tsmc18dN w=2.7e-07 l=1.8e-07 as=1.539e-13 ad=1.539e-13 \
        ps=1.35e-06 pd=1.35e-06 m=1 region=sat

If you do not see the capacitors, then something is wrong.

FreePDK45 Method

This is very similar to LVS. Go to Calibre->Run PEX. You will need to specify a layer map like LVS again. Also, select the rule file as this: 

/projects/cmpe122/techfiles/FreePDK45/ncsu_basekit/techfile/calibre/calibrexRC.rul

Under the Input section, in the Layout tab, make sure that GDSII and "Export from layout viewer" are selected. Under the Netlist tab, make sure that SPICE and "Export from schematic viewer" are selected.

Under the Output section, most options should be left as default. Under Netlist, we want Hspice format and names from the SCHEMATIC. By default, "All Nets" under the Nets tab should be checked. Under the Report tab, select "Generate PEX report" and "View report after PEX finishes". Under SVDB, make sure that "Start RVE after PEX" is checked.

One common error is that the pins are connected to the text layer and not the metal1 layer. You can't pass PEX unless all pins are set to metal1. Highlight the pin and press Q to see which layer the pin is connected to.

After this, there are a few files that were created, namely .netlist, .pex, and .pxi

The .pex, containing the parasitic elements for each subcircuit looks something like:

If the above simulation gets too slow, you can run without resistive parasitics but with less accuracy. To do this, change the extraction type to "C+CC" instead of "R+C+CC".

Now, you are ready to run a back-annotated simulation.

Back-Annotated Simulation

To run simulations, copy the .pex, .pxi and .netlist file to your prior Hspice simulation directory.

Open the file named input.ckt located inside your Hspice simulation directory/hspiceD/schematic/netlist.

Using "*" comment ONLY the lines starting with M (lines containing transistors) Type the following lines 

.include "invx1.pex.netlist"
X1 Z A VDD! GND! invx1

The first line includes the recently extracted netlist.

The second line is an instance invoking the cell you have recently designed and extracted.

The first field X1 is called the instance name.

The last field invx1 is the cell name you want to invoke.

The fields between these two are the list of inputs, outputs and supply interfaces. Make sure the order of these matches your .pex.netlist!

Open si.env file located inside your Hspice simulation directory/hspiceD/schematic/netlist and delete the lines containing simNetlistHier. Save si.env

The middle of your input.ckt file should resemble something like this: 

.INCLUDE "/projects/cmpe122/techfiles/FreePDK45-1.4/ncsu_basekit/models/hspice/tran_models/models_nom/PMOS_VTG.inc"
.INCLUDE "/projects/cmpe122/techfiles/FreePDK45-1.4/ncsu_basekit/models/hspice/tran_models/models_nom/NMOS_VTG.inc"

** Library name: spring_lib
** Cell name: invx1
** View name: schematic
*m0 z a 0 0 NMOS_VTG AD=25.2e-15 AS=37.8e-15 PD=280e-9 PS=780e-9 L=50e-9 W=180e-9 M=2

.include "invx1.pex.netlist"
X1 Z A GND! VDD! invx1
.include "/projects/cmpe122/users/rsankara/hspice_simul/invx1/hspiceD/schematic/netlist/stimuli/stimulus.sp"
.END

Make sure, your input.ckt already has .include for the models, and .END at the end of the file

On the ADE window, click Simulation->Run. This will now simulate the post extraction netlist.
