Sorry, I don't see skywater130.xml file attached. Could you repost it please our "special interest group"?
What about that bloody "li" that is acronym of local interconnect. Likely it is NOT a full equavelent of "metal1". The same story is for example with semi-obsolete ST 180nm H8 tech. This layer would be typically made of high resistive wolfram. It's just and extension of capabilities of "bloker" layer between "metal1" aluminium/copper and silicon, needed by technological reasons. (aluminia crystall grought can penetrate silicone and break n+/p+ conductivety or iven short cut gate and active througth gate oxide ...) The use of "li" is connecting contacts to poly oar active together inside on transisor or likes that... likely it's a good practice to avoid use of "li" as interconnect at all;) On Fri, Sep 25, 2020 at 9:31 AM <electricvlsi@googlegroups.com> wrote: > electricvlsi@googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email#!forum/electricvlsi/topics> > Google > Groups > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview> > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email/#!overview> > Topic digest > View all topics > <https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email#!forum/electricvlsi/topics> > > - SkyWater130 Electric PDK Preview > <#m_8042857322573108402_group_thread_0> - 1 Update > > SkyWater130 Electric PDK Preview > <http://groups.google.com/group/electricvlsi/t/a75b59c252d8773b?utm_source=digest&utm_medium=email> > Adam Joseph <a...@westernsemico.com>: Sep 24 02:00AM -0700 > > Attached is a preview of the SkyWater130 Electric Technology File (aka > PDK) and a simple demo library.
