- This program is best operated from the CVL workstations rather than remote access unless you wish to test your patience. Alternately, you could download the recent version directly from the website listed:
- Official Website:
- Freeware LayoutEditor
Step One To launch the program, login to CVL and execute the command:
- [login@cvlxx ~]layout-mems &
- This customized version has an extra feature the download from the website does not have. It has a "3D Add-on" for viewing 3D models of some simple structures which are based on a predefined 4-layer process, described in order below:
- Substrate Etch - Layer 4 - Positive PR and Dark Field & etch
- Oxide Etch - Layer 9 - Positive PR and Dark Field & etch
- PolySilicon Deposition - layer 14 - Positive PR and Clear Field & etch
- Metal deposit - Layer 19 - Positive PR and Dark Field & Liftoff
Step Two If your layout conforms to this process, you can view the 3D model as follows:
- Step One Go to "Utilities->Macros" and select "MEMS Technology".
- Note: This prepares the layers for further process simulation.
- Step Two To verify check the names of the layers.
- Note: Obviously, your features should be in the layers as numbered above.
- Step Three In the Topcell go to "Utilities->Macros" and select "3D View Normalizer_v1".
- Note: A new cell should be created with the name "3D_Trans".
- Step Four Go to "Utilities->3D Addon" and select "Render Addon"
- Note: The 3D View should now be displayed in a separate window.
