To do this, start with,
R_total = 10k = R_square * W/L = (800) W/L
To match the dimensions of the n-tap, let L=3.6
10k=800 W/(3.6)
W = 45
With that information, the layout can now be built.
To make the resistors match the lengths given above, it is a good idea to start by laying out a rectance, then selecting the rectangle and pressing "Q". Once the menu pops up, simply input the desired dimensions.
Doing this several times to create one group of resistors, then copying all of the resistors results in the following total and zoomed in layouts,
In the right picture, you can see the initial configuration as well as the second set of resistors. The layout of the bottom three resistors were then copied down to the rest of the 8 sets of resistors in order to create the overall schematic. When copying, the settings were set to "orthogonal" to ensure that all of the resistors are at the same x value, but differing y values.
When DRC'd, the dialogue window displayed,
Meaning there were no technical errors within the Layout.
In the extracted view, the values of the resistors resulted out to be,
Which is acceptably close to R=10k.
The main issue I ran into with this lab was attempting to run the LVS. Everytime I tried to LVS, the following error box came up,
So I was unable to successfully run the LVS. I will discuss this issue with Dr. Baker during this week's lab and hopefully have it solved before next lab report.
