Description

Returns the minimum span length spacing value defined by the minSpanLengthSpacing constraint for the specified layer, based on the specified span, parallel run length (prl), direction, and mask values.

Arguments

d_techID	The database identifier of the technology library.
t_layerName	The layer name.
?constraintGroup t_constrGroupName
	The constraint group in which minSpanLengthSpacing is defined. This is a user-defined setup constraint group. The default value is foundry.
?span f_spanVal
	The larger of the two spans.
?prl f_prlVal
	The prl between the two shapes.
?direction { any | horizontal | vertical }
	The direction in which spacing is measured. Valid values: horizontal, vertical, any (default)
?sameMask { 0 | 1 }
	Specifies whether the spacing is to be retrieved for shapes on the same mask or on different masks. Valid values: 0 (different mask), 1 (same mask, default)

Value Returned

f_minSpanSpaceVal	The minimum span length spacing value.
nil	The minimum span length spacing is not defined for the specified layer or for the specified arguments.

Examples

cv = geGetEditCellView()

tech = techGetTechFile(cv)

drdGetMinSpanLengthSpacing(tech "Metal1" ?span 0.215)

=> 0.14

Returns the minimum span length spacing defined between two Metal1 shapes. The span of the larger of the two shapes is greater than or equal to 0.215.

drdGetMinSpanLengthSpacing(tech "Metal1" ?span 0.395 ?prl 0.0)

=> 0.13

Returns the minimum span length spacing defined between two Metal1 shapes. The span of the larger of the two shapes is greater than or equal to 0.395 and the prl between the shapes is greater than or equal to 0.0.

drdGetMinSpanLengthSpacing(tech "Metal1" ?span 0.590 ?prl -0.1 ?direction "vertical")

=> 0.12

Returns the minimum span length spacing defined between two Metal1 shapes. The span of the larger of the two shapes is greater than or equal to 0.590 and the prl between the shapes is greater than or equal to -0.1. The spacing direction is vertical.

drdGetMinSpanLengthSpacing(tech "Metal1" ?span 0.590 ?prl -0.1 ?direction "horizontal")

=> nil

Returns nil because span length spacing in the horizontal direction is not defined.

drdGetMinSpanLengthSpacing(tech "Metal1" ?span 0.590 ?prl -0.1 ?direction "vertical" ?sameMask 1)

=> 0.12

Returns the minimum span length spacing defined between two same-mask Metal1 shapes. The span of the larger of the two shapes is greater than or equal to 0.590 and the prl between the shapes is greater than or equal to -0.1. The spacing direction is vertical.
