I am looking for a layout editor which runs on a SUN3 oder SUN4 workstation under SunOS Release 4.0, e.g. KIC or something like that. It is only for internal use at the computer science department at University of Dortmund.

Try the Electric VLSI Design System. Runs on SUNs, Apollos, Macintosh, X-window systems (DEC GPX, HP workstations, etc). Does IC layout, schematics, or whatever design environment you want. Has DRC, simulation, PLA generation, compaction, VHDL place and route, network comparison, and much, much more. Has associated textbook on VLSI CAD systems ("Computer Aids for VLSI Design", by Steven M. Rubin, Addison-Wesley, 1987). Sold commercially at better CAD stores, and available CHEAP to universities ($400 and the usual nondisclosure license agreement).

Thanks to Steven Rubin for his reply, but the Electric System isn't quite that what I am looking for. I need a layout editor for changing the geometric properties of individual mask layers and I'd prefer a stand alone editor. The editor should run on a SUN3 oder SUN4 workstation under SunOS Release 4.0. It is only for internal use at the computer science department at University of Dortmund. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lorenz Ladage ladage%unidocv@unido.uucp University of Dortmund Department of Computer Science I D-4600 Dortmund 50 West Germany Tel: +231 755 4896 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

I've had to deal with this sort of thing in the past, and I know Magic (and I'd guess Electric, too) can do it. The trick is to define a new technology specification which treats each mask layer independently. After that, you can just use the standard tools available in the system. I'm not sure why you want it to be stand alone, with this approach you get both good layout editors, and the ability to do things like resizing and even design rule checks on the masks. I've certainly found such things useful, even when hacking at the mask level. Scott Nettles Scott.Nettles@cs.cmu.edu
