DESCRIPTION

9       The  locap  is  used to describe a logical capacitor. Please note, this
10       description is different from the RCN description and has  a  different
11       purpose: the created capacitor is a functional logical capacitor, not a
12       parasitic capacitor.  For the time being, only MIM  (i.e.  metal/metal)
13       and POLY/NWELL capacitors type are supported.
14
15       The  declarations  needed  to work on locap are available in the header
16       file "/labo/include/mlo.h".
17
18       The following C structure  supports  the  description  of  the  logical
19       capacitor :
20
21              typedef struct locap
22                 {
23                   struct locap   ∗NEXT ;
24                   struct locon   ∗TCON ;
25                   struct locon   ∗BCON ;
26                   char           ∗NAME ;
27                   double         CAPA  ;
28                   char           TYPE  ;
29                   struct ptype   ∗USER ;
30                 } locap_list           ;
31
32       NEXT                Pointer to the next locap of the list.
33
34       TCON                Pointer  to  the  tcon (top plate) connector of the
35                           capacitor. This connector is, of course unique. See
36                           locon(3) for details.
37
38       BCON                Pointer to the bcon (bottom plate) connector of the
39                           capacitor. This connector is, of course unique. See
40                           locon(3) for details.
41
42       NAME                Capacitor instance name
43
44       CAPA                Capacitance value
45
46       TYPE                Layer  type  of the capacitor. Two legal values are
47                           available :
48
49                           CAPMIM              Metal/metal capacitor. The  top
50                                               plate  and the bottom plate are
51                                               in different metal layers.
52
53                           CAPPNWELL           Poly/NWELL capacitor.  The  top
54                                               plate layer is POLY, the bottom
55                                               plate  layer  is  NWELL.  Note:
56                                               this  capacitor type is techno‐
57                                               logical dependent  and  is  not
58                                               available for any technology.
59
60       USER                Pointer  to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details,
61                           that is a general purpose  pointer  used  to  share
62                           information  on  the capacitor.  This field is used
63                           with the  LOCAP_INFO(3)  ptype  to  store  physical
64                           information.
