Virtuoso Automated Standard Cell Routing
The Virtuoso standard cell routing solution seamlessly integrates the Innovus NanoRoute™ router in the Virtuoso Studio design environment. The flow starts from a schematic design from which a layout view is generated. You can then import IO pin and boundary information from an existing layout and step through the creation of Innovus-compatible row regions before completing power routing and the placement of tap cells and standard cells.
The Verilog, LEF/DEF flow is not supported. It can cause module problems where cells are being created when they already exist as leaf cells.
In standard cell routing, there are different ways for you to generate WSPs. You can also route the design without them, relying on Innovus created tracks instead.
