#96 Standard cell LEF views disagree on whether LI connected to power rail is a pin or an obstruction Issue opened by RTimothyEdwards @mithro : The scripts that we used to ensure that the LI and MCON layers under the power rails would show up in all of the standard cell LEF files still has one problem---some cells are now adding the LI and MCON under the power rails to the geometry of the power rail pins, while other cells are showing those layers as obstructions. The latter may make somewhat more sense logically (connect only to the MET1 part of the power rail because it has the lowest resistance). One way to resolve the issue might be for me to add an option to magic's "lef write" command to insist that pins should only be created on the top-most layer for a pin, and then all layers under that would be treated as obstructions. I think that would produce a result that would make all cells match. I will work on this modification and let you know when it is done so that you can add the "lef write" option to the scripts and re-run to correct the LEF views. google/skywater-pdk
