<@U016EM8L91B> hi sir, getting 76 drc errors on "sky130_fd_sc_hd_fa_1" standard cell .when drc style is set to drc(full).. How to fix this issue? the errors are N-diff distance to p-tap must be < 15.0um

The standard cells are not really designed to be used independently like that.

They're designed to be abutted one next to the other and one other thing you need to take care of is proper biasing for the substrate and the nwell.

This is usually taken care of by a `tap` cell from the standard library that needs to be placed abutted next to the other cells following the proper pitch.

can you send me a example of proper placement of standard cell.. <@U016HU5HK8V> thanks for replying..
