Hello All,
I am performing an LVS run using Calibre. For this, I imported the stream/gds file and the the verilog file after my backend flow (Innovus). The .v file was converted to a SPICE netlist (not sure how..but if anyone could explain it a bit would be an additional help!!)
So now coming to the issue at hand,
the LVS was not an absolute match because of the presence of DECAPS which are there in the layout but not in the extracted schematic from the verilog.
So, to resolve this I added the option -includePhysicalCell {string/name of the decap cells} -includePhysicalInst in the saveNetlist option (in Innovus), extracted once again and performed a new LVS run. But now, the problem is that the top level is no longer schematic. It has changed to functional.
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Thanks,
Cheers,
Kashif
