7.4 Nwell¶
This drawn layer is to define the Nwell for both 3.3V & 5V/6V PMOS transistors. For Nwell as a resistor it can only be used outside DNWELL, as by default all Nwell inside DNWELL will be shorted together through DNWELL.

If Nwell is used as resistor, it must be covered by RES_MK (for LVS purpose). Width of the resistor determined by Nwell width. Length by COMP to COMP space. RES_MK length shall be coincide with resistor length (Touching COMP each side) and width covering the width of Nwell)”  |
