If you have Viewlogic tools and would like to fab some of your small designs at no cost to you, we have a deal. (1) We have a design kit consists of a library of std cells for Viewlogic's tools. (2) You capture your designs using Viewdraw. (3) Send us the design in viewlogic format. (4) We place and route it and send you back backannotated info for ViewSim. (5) You simulate it again. If it is to your satisfaction, we will fab it. (6) Once you get the chip, you should test it and let us know the outcome. Send your name, your school or company, address, phone #, and e-mail address. we will choose five sites and respond to you with further information. Thank you very much. Shih-Lien Lu

Gentlepersons MOSIS is looking for a small number of volunteers from the University community to help test its net list to parts service prior to its introduction. The way the test will be performed is as follows: (1) We will give you a design kit consisting of a library of std cells for Viewlogic's tools capable of being fabbed on MOSIS 1.6 micron processes. (2) You will capture your designs using Viewdraw. (3) You will send us designs in Viewlogic format. (4) We will place and route the design and send you back a backannotated net list which takes into account capacitive loading due to wiring. (5) If in redoing the timing simulation you find the place and route acceptable and if the chip fits into a Tiny Chip frame you will be able to ask us to fab the design for free. (6) The final day to submit a design for fabrication will be 2/1/90. (7) Once you get chips, you will test them to determine whether the timing came out as predicted. Send your name, your University affiliation, address, phone #, and e-mail address to "sllu@mosis.edu" or "mosis@mosis.edu". We will choose five pioneers and get back to you with further information. Even if you don't want to be a pioneer, feel free to respond. It would help us to know the number interested in using the service once established. If you do not have Viewlogic's tools, and if you are part of an educational institution, you may qualify for a free loaner copy from USC/ISI's Integrated Systems Laboratory. To find out you should contact Mr. Robert Parker or Mr. Jeff La Coss directly at (213)822-1511 x235 (jlacoss@venera.isi.edu). You can also ask us to ask them to contact you. Ms. MOSIS
