IC Layout mask designer are in high demand right now and the specialized tool Microwind gives benefits to future design engineers and the instructors so that they can get a competitive edge in their careers by having skilled knowledge on CMOS circuits; which attracts the employers.
The fabrication of integrated circuits is based on the layout of patterned material-layers one on top of the other. Several such layers are not accessible to the circuit‟s layout-designer because they are required for isolation or electrical contacts between the semiconductor device and the supporting interconnect structure. In order to get from circuit topology to the actual layout-topology, the designer should have a firm understanding of the representation of devices in a layout and also the ability to do the reverse, i.e. seeing a layout and having an idea of the corresponding circuit and therefore the circuit‟s function. Specialize software tools aid the designers in both of these directions.
Microwind is a friendly Windows-PC software-tool for designing and simulating microelectronic circuits at layout level. The tool features full editing facilities attractive views such as MOS characteristics, 2D cross-sections, 3D views, atomic views and efficient analog simulator. No SPICE or external simulator is needed. The analog simulator is built-in.
