KLIC Computer and Software Tools
|
KLIC uses Linux software tools for design capture,
simulation, layout, and extraction. All software tools
produce Postscript output, and documentation is provided in that form,
or converted to PDF.
-
ORCAD Schematic Design Tools by ORCAD of Beaverton,
Oregon. Running on the Win4Lin emulator.
-
SmartSpice
from Silvaco of Sunnyvale, CA. Linux.
-
LEDIT
by Tanner Research of Pasadena, CA. Running on the Win4Lin emulator.
Of course, tool sets such as Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys, and others
are better suited for very large designs, and KLIC works with other design
houses that specialize in these large (and very expensive!) designs. However,
through proper design techniques, the low cost tools have been used to
construct 200 mil, 0.18 micron chips with 11 million transistors!
KLIC does most documentation using Open Office 2.0 for Linux.
OpenOffice reads and writes Word, Excel, and Powerpoint documents.
The design tools run on a Thinkpad T30 laptop running Redhat 9.0 Linux.
I can work anywhere!
The KLIC GNU/Linux server runs
Fedora Core 1 Linux
on Pentium hardware.
Nightly full backups are done
onto hot-swapped hard drives.
This permits responsible protection of client data, while permitting
complete data removal at the end of contracts.
KLIC - your ideas in silicon!
