Magic Technology Files for MOSIS SCMOS

All of the Magic files have been moved to a new site: ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/sondeen/magic

NOTICE:

2001-05-25

  beta/examples/SCNA.80.PADS.2000 has been restored: version 0.4
  removes the 'zener diode' from in,out,io pads.  it includes a
  preliminary copy of version 2001a SCNA.80.tech27 techfile (which has
  not been fully tested and released yet).  note in particular that it
  uses new CIF names CM1/CV1/CM2 (rather than CMF/CVA/CMS) so pay very
  close attention to any 'layer name' discrepancies from Mosis when
  you submit your chip.  also, you must to this minimal verification
  before submitting your chip (as discussed in the README):

 put pin labels on top layer metal on top of the pads
 cif out
 cif in
 extract
 simulate, with respect to those labels

the above simple procedure catches most all problems with techfiles
and/or cell layouts!

  be sure to read:   beta/examples/SCNA.80.PADS.2000/README
 

here is the prior notice:

beta/examples/SCNA.80.PADS.2000 has been removed until 5/25:

(corrected description:)

NOTE: the SCNA.80.PADS.2000/ prior to 5/25/2001 contain defective
layouts (affecting the out and io pad cells) that create a zener diode
between an internal node and GND (which is not a problem for the input
direction for which enable=GND and disconnects the zener anyway).  but
in the output direction, when enable is VDD, this zener stops internal
node N+ from going high and thus cannot pull the output PAD to GND.

perhaps you could operate fabbed chips at a VDD below the zener
reverse breakdown voltage, else i believe you could salvage fabbed
parts with a "FIB-job" (Focussed Ion Beam) to cut the metal 1 box at

117     94      124     96

for more information, you may contact me at: sondeen @ usc . edu

i regret the error, however, it is my own error, and Mosis is not
culpable.

to fix the layout defect, move the "psubstratepdiff" box at

llx     lly     urx     ury
147     76      151     88

4 lambdas to the right, or wait until 5/25 to download a new one.

(in the meantime, Mosis has a fixed version in 
http://www.mosis.org/cell-libraries/scn16-pads/40pc22x22-zenerfree-ver0.4.cif,
however it uses CM1/CV1/... cif names rather than the old ones CMF/CVA/...
so you either have to text-edit the cif file or wait for new techfiles
due 5/25.
