06/27/2021, 9:04 AMThe MiM cap is formed by a think oxide and a metal layer on top of M3. M3 forms the other electrode.
Weston Braun
06/27/2021, 9:04 AMDue to tolerances and such, M3 must extend beyond the ends of the mim cap
Weston Braun
06/27/2021, 9:06 AMas for the first error, that is just a via to layer tolerance issue. The mim contact must be placed on top of the mim cap layer. Due to tolerances in manufacturing it must be placed more than 0.08um from the edge of the mim cap layer

06/27/2021, 9:07 AMI dont know how you are creating the device in magic, but you need to have the mim layer be at least 0.14um in all dimensions than the M3 layer and the mim contact layer be at least 0.08um smaller in all dimensions.

06/27/2021, 9:12 AMYou can use the box shrink command if you are drawing the area manually. For example:
Copy code
box 0um 0um 5um 5um
paint m3
box shrink center 0.14um
paint mimcap
paint m4
box shrink center 0.08um
paint mimcapcontacts
