From @SANDIA.ARPA:tony@uw-vlsi.arpa Mon Aug 13 11:09:36 1984 CMOS TOOLSET AVAILABLE The University of Washington / Northwest VLSI Consortium has assembled and integrated a number of VLSI tools from educational and industrial sources. A second release of these tools is now available. Fully supported are: buried contact nMOS processes, the MOSIS 3 micron bulk CMOS process, and a 5 micron isoplanar CMOS process. Included in this package are: The March 1983 VLSI Tools from UC Berkeley, including Caesar, Lyra, Crystal, Mextra, Tpack, Spice2g6, and our enhancements to these tools. A pascal-based procedural layout system (Plap) with placement and interconnect capability for cells created with a graphical editor. Artwork display programs driving printers, penplotters and crt displays. A netlist generator and timing simulator (derived from MIT's Net/Presim/Rnl) including extensive tutorials. Pads, padframes, and PLA generators in all technologies. Characterized layouts for a set of standard cells in bulk and isoplanar CMOS. The package of tools runs on a DEC VAX under the Berkeley UNIX operating system, version 4.1 (A number of the tools are compatible with version 4.2). All inquiries should be addressed to: Vicky Palm UW/NW VLSI Consortium Department of Computer Science, FR-35 University of Washington Seattle, Washington 98195 Telephone: (206) 545-3796 Electronic Mail: palm@washington A release fully supporting UNIX 4.2, including additional enhancements to the tools, will be available in the near future. _________________________________
