Would anyone be willing to share libraries they've created or information about how they have configured Electric to work with this/any/generic design kit? I am interested in using the built in mocmos technology in Electric for layout, but I am curious what additional steps a professional IC designer would actually take to customize their tool-flow to a particular process before doing a design.
E.g. Prof. Baker has a lot of great information on his website but he uses a single public model file "C5_models.txt" and inputs all the spice code manually, draws everything by hand, etc., likely for the purposes of simplifying the teaching process. But if someone actually wanted to do a design in the technology he has, would they really just do it this way? Or would they create a set of custom libraries for themselves to ease the process? Wouldn't they use other model files too? I'd like to learn more about how people with experience do this, but it's so difficult to find documentation because of the NDAs required to talk about it I guess. But maybe we can discuss it in general enough terms? Or, if anyone has a library they'd be willing to share I could sign the appropriate NDAs and request permission from the foundry first. I don't work in the semiconductor industry (just doing this for fun) so I don't have anyone I can talk to, and I feel like I have read just about everything out there that I can find at this point so I am posting here. Hope that's OK. I'd love to hear from anyone who has designed chips in Electric.
