I work in a microelectronics research facility at Penn State. Up until now
we have been sending drawings (by hand) to mask manufacturers, but we
are getting an IBM s/6000 and would like to begin using it as a CAD tool
for mask design. The formats that people tell me are popular are CIF and
GDS2. What is available in the way of CAD software products that can
write files in these formats (either, not necessarily both)? We
are rather uninformed in this subject area, so no reply is too simple
for us. Any information would be appreciated. If enough replies are
received, I'll post a summary. Thankyou,
