Name

PlaceContact - Places a contact

Synopsys

PlaceContact ( net, layer, point, width, height )

Description

Placement of a contact.
The contact is located at the coodinates of point, on the layer layer and has a size of 1 per 1. It belongs to the net net.
Note that the segment must be horizontal or vertival.

Parameters

• net : Net which the contact belongs to
• layer : Layer of the segment.
  The layer argument is a string wich can take different values, thanks to the technology (file described in HUR_TECHNO_NAME)

PlaceContact ( myNet, "ALU2", XY (10, 0), 2, 2 )

Errors

Some errors may occur :

• [Stratus ERROR] PlaceContact : Argument layer must be a string.
• [Stratus ERROR] PlaceContact : Wrong argument,
the coordinates of the contact must be put in a XY object.
