How to create inductor cell for simulation and LVS?

    Hi all,

    I have a layout and the S-parameters for and inductor which is going to
    be used in my circuit.

    Here is what I want to do: I want to use this S-parameters data in the
    simulation of my circuit. Then I will use the inductor layout mentioned
    above in the circuit layout. I will run the LVS and extraction and the
    post-layout simulation as well.

    How to implement the inductor cell in Cadence so that I can accomplish
    those tasks?

    I don't know how to make the extractor recorgnize the inductor
    structure and assign the correct inductor model (which is based on the
    S-parameter) to the extracted view so that I can do the post-layout
    simulation correctly.

    Thanks,

    Frank

  2. And you can use the nport component from analogLib for the s-parameters.
    For more details, search for "nport app note" on http://sourcelink.cadence.com -
    there are a number of options to control how the s-parameters are handled,
    particularly in time domain simulations.
