  • Abstract
    Philips Laboratories has developed HVDEV, a procedural language layout generator for compiling high voltage MOS device layouts from behavioral specifications. HVDEV is analyzed as a case study in silicon compilation software engineering. The paper formulates a comparative analysis to conventional layout design accounting for software development and maintenance. Critical factors in planning silicon compilation software development are identified.
