DRC

Hammer has an action for running design rules check (DRC) on a post-place-and-route GDS. This action requires a tool plugin to implement HammerDRCTool.

DRC Setup Keys

  • Namespace: vlsi.core

    • drc_tool

      • Module of the DRC tool e.g. hammer.drc.calibre

DRC Input Keys

  • Namespace: drc

    • inputs.top_module (str)

      • Name of top RTL module to run DRC on. Auto-populated after par-to-drc.

    • inputs.layout_file (str)

      • GDSII file from place-and-route. Auto-populated after par-to-drc.

    • inputs.additional_drc_text_mode (str)

      • Chooses what custom DRC commands to add to the run file. auto selects the one provided in the tech-json.

    • inputs.drc_rules_to_run ([str])

      • This selects a subset of the rules given in the technology's Design Rule Manual (DRM). The format of these rules will be technology- and tool-specific.

    • submit (dict)

      • Can override global settings for submitting jobs to a workload management platform.

DRC Inputs

There are no other prerequisites to running DRC other than setting the keys described above.

DRC Outputs

  • DRC results report and database in {OBJ_DIR}/drc-rundir
  • A run file: {OBJ_DIR}/drc-rundir/drc_run_file
  • A script to interactively view the DRC results: {OBJ_DIR}/drc-rundir/generated_scripts/view_drc

DRC Commands

  • DRC Command (after par-to-drc is run)

    • hammer-vlsi -e env.yml -p {OBJ_DIR}/drc-input.json --obj_dir OBJ_DIR drc
