  • Abstract
    TOPOLOGIZER is an expert system for the design of CMOS cells. TOPOLOGIZER uses heuristics (rules) specified by an expert designer to produce a custom-fit symbolic leaf-cell from a transistor connection description and a description of the environment in which the cell will reside. A symbolic layout system converts the symbolic description to a mask level description.
