Abstract :
Methods and algorithms are described for converting designs from a geometrical database design system to a design system which is based on basic electrical objects. The feasibility of these algorithms is demonstrated using GDS II and L language as examples. The performance of the system is such that it can be used in design verification by converting mask layouts to a format suitable for simulation
