PHVIA(3)						MBK PHYSICAL STRUCTURE DEFINITIONS						  PHVIA(3)

NAME

       phvia - mbk physical contact

DESCRIPTION

       The phvia structure is used to describe a via or contact belonging to a symbolic layout model, see phfig(3) for details.

       The declarations needed to work on phvia are available in the header file "/labo/include/mph402.h", where '402' is the actual mbk version.

       The following C structure supports the description of the via :
	      typedef struct phvia {
		 struct phvia	  *NEXT;
		 char		  TYPE;
		 long		  XVIA,YVIA;
		 struct ptype	  *USER;
	      } phvia_list;

       NEXT		   Pointer to the next phvia in the list.

       XVIA, YVIA	   Coordinates of the center of the via. Vias are macro generated patterns, so only their center is a matter of concern.

       TYPE		   Via type. The legal types for via are

			   CONT_POLY	       poly alu1  contact

			   CONT_VIA	       alu2 alu1  contact

			   CONT_DIF_N	       alu1 difn  contact

			   CONT_DIF_P	       alu1 difp  contact

			   CONT_BODY_N	       alu1 nwell contact

			   CONT_BODY_P	       alu1 pwell contact

			   CONT_VIA2	       alu2 alu3  contact

			   C_X_N	       L shaped N transistor corner filling

			   C_X_P	       L shaped P transistor corner filling

       USER		   Pointer  to a ptype list, see ptype(3) for details, that is a general purpose pointer used to share informations on the
			   via.
