Resistor layout
• Resistor value is calculated using R=Rs (L/W) where Rs is sheet
resistance of ELEC layer and its value in AMI 0.5µm process is
1024Ω/ ٱL and W are length and width of resistor.
• Resistor is implemented using a POLY2 layer or ELEC as it is
called in Cadence.
• A High-Res layer is also used as a layer ID.
• Use minimum W of ELEC to calculate length of ELEC layer
• Value of W and L calculated using formula is an approximate
value. To get a value close enough to desired value, layout the
resistor, extract the layout using the extractor tool in Cadence and
and see the value in extracted view of your cell and change the size
of the resistor in layout view to get to a desired value. This, as we
can see is an iterative process.

Use NTAP contact around transistors and try to use M2 for horizontal connections and M3
for vertical connections or vice versa.
