·        Selecting width and length

First, you have to apply the equation.

For an n-well resistor, the sheet resistance is about 800Ω/square, and we want R to equal 10kΩ. After you plug those numbers in you will find that l = 12.5w. Next, you will find a value for w and l using this relationship. That being said, the layout will have to follow SCMOS rules. Two of the most basic rules that apply to n-wells is that the width has to be at least 3.6um and the edges have to be on grid. The grid points are .15um apart, meaning the width and length have to be divisible by .15um.

The DRC shows there are no errors in my layout.

Performing the LVS between the extracted layout and schematic shows no errors, as seen below.
