SkyWater layers description issues

[Alexandre Rusev]

With SkyWater PDK 130nm we have:

 - a number of special layers which mark various type of capacitors,

   resistors, inductors etc. Various oxide thickness markers likes

   high voltage are also used

- instead of lowes metal layer they are using that bloody local interconnect layer "li" (I guess it must be hight resistive wolfram)

 

So I have questions how to describe several thing in Electric  tech file?:

 - how to describe that via4 connects metal5  to cap2m  if one (cap2m) present and to metal4 otherwise?

 - how to describe that when metal1 is connected to active/diffusion

   the connection is NOT m1-to-active-contact, but that "sandwich"

   of mcon+li+licon, but licon is also independent "pseudometal" layer

   which is connected to active with licon?

 - does Electric already have some facility for generating inferred layers

   in GDS output? I mean writing mcon+li+licon instead m1-to-active-contact when writing GDS

Steven, could you give an advice on issues above, looking on their layers map, please???

I also tried to ask the same question description of LIL for other technology, this time I tied to provide more clear formulation
