Hi,
During the LEC step between the Yosys-synthesized netlist and the GL netlist, I am receiving warnings about the following cells:
1.
sky130_ef_sc_hd_decap_12
2.
sky130_fd_sc_hd_fill_1
3.
sky130_fd_sc_hd_tapvpwrvgnd_1
Since these cells are used to reduce DRC violations, maintain power rail continuity, and reduce IR drop, they likely have no logical function.
I assume these warnings are not significant in terms of LEC. I can comment out the related lines containing these cells from the Yosys netlist and perform LEC later, where it succeeds.
I would appreciate your thoughts on this issue.

Yes your statements are correct. It's all physical cells. So can be ignored during LEC.
