Abstract :
An analog layout assistant (ALAS!) is presented that automatically generates common-centroid, interdigitated device pairs and passive components. The user inputs a minimum of input parameters and has the ability to interactively alter the parameters of the program. The program can be used in conjunction with any layout editor that imports CalTech Intermediate Format (CIF) layouts and is platform and technology independent
