摘要: Free form or “stick” type symbolic layout provides a means of simplifying the design IC subcircuits. To successfully utilize this style layout, complete approach and necessary tools to support methodology are required. In particular, one requirements such method is ability “compact” loosely specified topology create set valid mask data. This paper presents new compaction strtegy which uses concept virtual grid. The algorithm using grid both simple fast, an veniently interact with optimize layout. addition algorithm, methods used large building blocks will be described. work described here part system called MULGA written in C programming language resides on UNIX operating system.
