The inverter instance is
selected, and put it in the layout view of a cell inv,
Use shift+f to see the full view,
and then add labels in order to use them to generate pins, we can also generate
pins directly. The labels must be added to the current view. Make sure the
input and outputs are same as in schematic. Here, for example they are "In",
"Out". After the labels are put in, we can use "Create-> Pins from labels..."
to add pins. We may also need to select a pin layer. such as metal1.
Finally,
when we use the two gates created above to build an "and" gate, we can first
come up with the schematic by using the gate symbols.
Then we can use
Schematics
to layout conversion to convert this schematic to layout, since we have
got the layout views for both of nand and inv. We can take a look of incomplete
nets by "Connectivity-> Show incomplete nets..."
The advantage of using this way to generate more complex gate is the
connectivities between the gates are also dervied from schematic
Finish the connections as indicated, and we can also use extracted
view to see the connection.
