It might not be that helpful, but there was a previous discussion about how a LEF file could not be used with Electric [ https://groups.google.com/d/topic/electricvlsi/t33vaOMVwtk/discussion ] and how all technology information most likely had to be entered manually into the wizard [ https://www.staticfreesoft.com/jmanual/mchap08-11.html ].
The tsmc180 plugin is unattainable. The technology information should be attainable but are confidential and not available to the general public due to NDA: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/electricvlsi/iWx9jwT0LK4/K_4wQxxaAQAJ https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/electricvlsi/plugins$20containing$20commercial$20design$20rules$20are$20secret$20because$20of$20NDA%7Csort:date/electricvlsi/_HSev8zvoKo/hDQTElM-AQAJ For the technology information and more information on the NDA, you would likely have to contact TSMC [ http://www.tsmc.com/english/contact_us.htm ], or if using MOSIS service or EUROPRACTICE service: https://www.mosis.com/vendors/view/tsmc/documents https://www.cmc.ca/en/Help/Licensing/MOSISDesignKitsandLibraries.aspx http://www.europractice-ic.com/nda_TSMC.php On Friday, October 26, 2018 at 12:12:47 PM UTC-6, Kim Cornett wrote: > > Wondering if you resolved this.
