Modgen Reusable Templates

Virtuoso supports a template-driven Modgen reuse solution to help improve layout productivity. A Modgen template comprises a set of Modgen parameters, such as the interdigitation pattern, abutment, dummy definitions, and spacing values, that can be reused to create a gridded layout of matching structures.

The following diagrams depict the template-driven Modgen reuse flow.

1. The tool extracts Modgens from the source layout for important structures in the source schematic (Flow 1) and for existing Modgens, if available (Flow 2).
2. The information is saved in the Modgen template files.
3. The template files are then grouped by their structure type. The Modgen templates are reused in the target layout to generate Modgens that include similar structures in the target schematic.
