05/07/2022, 11:35 AMCan anyone guide me how can we make layout of resistor in magic with sky130 pdk, considering 'ndiffres' or 'pdiffres' or' ppolyres' or 'npolyres'? Out of these available res layers which one is a good choice?

Use their characteristics to determine which one is better in sky's docs

05/07/2022, 1:37 PMAvoid using diffusion resistors (ndiffres, pdiffres) unless you are certain that your circuit keeps the diffusion firmly reverse-biased at all times, and can tolerate the diode leakage. The best choice is the high-sheet-rho poly, if you need a resistor in the range of several kohms and upward. Choose the type so that the resistor isn't too short---if you get below an aspect ratio L:W of, say, 10:1, then proportionally more of the resistor is in the contacts, and the total resistance will be more variable, less accurate, and less well matched between similar layouts.

05/09/2022, 7:13 AM@User, I tried to make resistor using 'res0p69'' layer then 'ppolyres'on top of it. Due to large length of poly taken, i tried to make it in snake style. But in case of snake style it shows drc error as shown in image, we can't draw bends in poly res.

05/09/2022, 2:02 PMThere is also a rule for distance between precision resistors that is incorrect. I took a conservative approach to the rules while I was still trying to understand them.
