Hello everyone, I had a mismatch error at lvs stage, when running user_project_wrapper. When I looked at lvs log file, I saw these power pins mismatch.

vccd1_uq0                                  |vccd1 **Mismatch**        
vssd1_uq0                                  |vssd1 **Mismatch** 
vccd1                                      |(no matching pin)                          
vssd1                                      |(no matching pin)                          
vdda2_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)                          
vdda1_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)                          
vccd2_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)                          
vssd2_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)                          
vssa2_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)                          
vssa1_uq0                                  |(no matching pin)

The *_uq0 pins are created by the flow, not by me. How can I solve this mismatch? Reproducibles and log files can be downloaded here. I also opened a github issue in OpenLane repository, but it did not much help. For more explanation, you can see the github issue here.

Your result is matching circuits with mismatching pins, correct? Does this cause a problem with mpw precheck? The current flow often yields the similar results at this level. You could try

set ::env(LVS_CONNECT_BY_LABEL) 1

in the config.tcl file or

export LVS_CONNECT_BY_LABEL=1

in the shell before running lvs. You could also modify the extraction commands to use

extract unique notopports

instead of the current

extract unique

. See

openlane/scripts/tcl_commands/magic.tcl

@Burak Yakup Çakar I used to see this issue in my repo. Look like during PDN there are Isolated Power Mesh .. i.e some of vertical power net not connected horizontal net between hard-ip. These isolated power net are named with *_uq0,*_uq1 during spice extraction .. One way to resolve this issue is to give more space between hard-ip

Thank you both for your support. It helped a lot 🙂
