[Magic-dev] RE: TSMC 0.18

[R. Timothy Edwards]

MultiGiG has just taped out a test chip on TSMC 0.18 using
magic-7.3 and a vendor-rules tech file.  As soon as I am
finished writing up some notes on the tech file, I will
forward it to Wes Hansford at MOSIS to be added to the
secure document server.  This has all the features of the
mixed-mode process (deep-nwell, HV transistors, thick top
metal, MiM capacitors, high-resistance resistors, etc.),
and I will probably want to generate the "LO" (digital)
process tech file again to make sure I get all the updates
I made to the mixed-mode process tech file.  I also have
a "GDS exact" tech file that displays GDS input verbatim,
and the mixed-mode tech file has a clever algorithm for
generating fill patterns.
