Thick-film circuit layout using the Magic layout editor

Technology files for the Magic layout editor have been created that facilitate the layout, design rule checking, and plotting or rubylith cutting of single-layer (crossover style) and two-metal layer (multilayer style) hybrid circuits. Details of the technology files are presented as well as a layout example. Outputs can be prepared as 10× scale pen plots, or rubylith sheets may be cut on the plotter at 10× scale to be photoreduced for circuit production. Using the procedure may save three to six hours of labor per circuit over hand cutting, depending on the complexity of the circuit
