Does anybody know if something like this exists ? https://open-source-silicon.slack.com/archives/C072ZFE19FH/p1718424871995559 like a tutorial on how to make like a simple CMOS inverter layout using glayout or something....I just feel like it would be a great simple way to give people like me who are just starting out with glayout idea about how to use the tool and its most commonly used functions/features....like adding and moving transistors, connecting them with metals and adding appropriate vias wherever required.....or like a single stage amplifier (ik that the CMOS inverter topology can also work as one) with resistors and capacitors since from what I am studying at university, they seem to be used a lot in analog ICs...

Hi Kostubh, Please tune into the chipathon meetings this and next week. We’ll do live examples, including routing, placement, etc., etc.

If you want a headstart, I suggest if you look into the example notebooks we provide in the repo: https://github.com/idea-fasoc/OpenFASOC/tree/main/docs/source/notebooks/glayout
After that look into primitive cells that GLayout provides for you

@Sakib Pathen I have taken a look at the colab notebooks in the OpenFASOC repo, but certain lines of code such as
cref_ref.movex(evaluate_bbox(pfet_mir)[0] + max_metal_separation(pdk))
are not clear to me. I have also gone through the documentation that does exist and it doesn't make it any more clear to me, maybe that's because I have only used traditional GUI based layout tools. I will be sure to join the meeting this week.

@Koustubh Hi, did the session answer your questions
k
Yes, thanks it did.
