    Hi all
    Does anybody know how to extract connectivity information
    from a layout if net names are provided.
    Thanks

    Hi all
    Your question is not very detailed. Any verification tool that can do LVS (diva, assura, calibre,
    .....) must include device and connectivity extraction from layout in order to compare with a
    netlist. For example, you may use assura to generate a netlist from a layout, provided you have
    ruledecks for your particular technology.

    Virtuoso-XL also has some (more rudimentary) connectivity extraction capabilities resembling that of
    a schematic editor. One may certainly use it to extract a schematic out of a layout.

    Hi Stephane
    Thanks for your reply.Basically i was checking
    only whether an nwell is connected to vss*. Is this possible through
    SKILL or we need diva.

    Sajin, as was previously mentioned, if you use virtuoso XL and have
    connectivity information, then you can certainly find nwell connected
    to vss without diva.
