Abstract

An effective layout design method for VLSI macrocell is presented in this paper. The method describes a way to write, to test and to validate efficient Full-Custom generators and tilers. First, after a brief overview of the design methodology of tilers, the GENLIB C-library of procedural design functions is described. Second, GENVIEW, a portable and graphic layout debugger for the interactive testing of generators, is detailed.
