    I'm a new comer to MOSIS and MAGIC, and am considering the TSMC0.35um
    process to fabricate my ICs. I have the following questions which make me
    confusing.
    
    1) There are difference between the MAGIC SCMOS technology layers and the
    layer map on MOSIS website. For example, we have ndiff or pdiff in MAGIC
    SCMOS technology to form drain and source of transistor. However, we have
    no such layers in layer map on MOSIS website. We can only find active, n
    plus select and p plus select layers. Both of them are based on SCMOS
    technology. Why are there some difference?
    
    2) For some processes like TSMC0.35um, we can sue 3.3V for core and 5V for
    I/O simutaneousely. We're also told by MOSIS that we need thick oxide for
    5V in this process. However, what we can find in MOSIS is a thickactive
    layer in addition to active layer. That's fine. It has been explained very
    well on MOSIS website that how to use these two layers to build 5V
    transistor. And what we can find in MAGIC SCN4M_SUBM.20.TSMC technology is
    a thickoxide layer, no oxide layer, no active layer. So, how to build a
    5V transistor in MAGIC SCN4M_SUBM.20.TSMC?
