Dear All,

I am using the following technology file and reference files for layout purpose:

technology file: tsmcn65_9lmT2.tf

reference file : tcbn65gplus_200a/frame_only/tcbn65gplus

After running, i am getting these following errors regarding pitch area and AP.

warning: Layer 'AP' is missing the attribute 'minArea'. (line 744) (TFCHK-012)
Warning: Cut layer 'VIA1' has a non-cross primary default ContactCode 'VIA12'. (line 1207) (TFCHK-092)
Warning: Layer 'M1' has a pitch 0.2 that does not match the recommended wire-to-via pitch 0.225. (TFCHK-049)
Warning: Layer 'M7' has a pitch 0.2 that does not match the recommended wire-to-via pitch 0.41 or 0.35. (TFCHK-049)

Warning: CapModel sections are missing. Capacitance models should be loaded with a TLU+ file later. (TFCHK-084)


Could someone help to resolve these issues ? and also if i ignore these warnings, will it be any effect on my design during the tap-out.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
