FinFET Support in Abstract Generator

At advanced nodes, in addition to the default antenna data calculation behavior, Abstract Generator allows you to calculate antenna gate area for FinFET devices when the gate area is to be derived from number of fins. A user-defined SKILL hook function getEffectiveAntennaGateArea is used for calculating the gate area of the FinFET devices. This SKILL hook function should be defined before running the Extract step.

Syntax:

getEffectiveAntennaGateArea (binName gateBBox @rest args)

Here, binName refers to the bin being used and gateBBox is the effective gate area for the specified gate geometry. @rest args can include dbCellViewId, which is the current database cell view ID in the read mode.
