hi,

i am very new to electric and it seems that it is set to work with a specific node process for MOSIS

so what if i sign NDA agreement with TSMC and got the PDK how can i start from there and make electric in corporate the technology and build my project with it. 

are there articles or tutorials that show from scratch the exact procedure for that

thanks to all

Yes, others have done exactly this: sign the NDA, take the rules, and build an Electric technology.

The user's manual outlines a few ways to build technologies, but it's definitely not an "automatic" process that takes their rules and builds something for Electric. This is because Electric needs higher-level objects (nodes and arcs) whereas other systems use only layers.

Quick question have anyone tried Electric for FD-SOI?

Dear Luis,

Let's check it out and ask whether some companies who uses this Global Foundries Process they were be able to port to Electric.
I think it is possible, all we need to do is sign with an NDA, guess maybe ST Micro Engineers done it for their making Test Elements or full Custom.

thank you steve for the reply and sorry for the delayed response

although i am new to electric i see the technology parameters that i must fill are much less than that in pdk so it seems that their will be errors if i send the file to foundry for manufacturing, besides the results of simulations will be miss leading unless there is a way to incorporate all pdk parameters
