Abstract:
A method for making gate array masks in which a mask set for an existing set of gate array cells are converted to follow new design rules requiring a non-uniform transformation of circuit components is carried out by manually converting a defining set of circuit components from a first set of grid points to a second set, the second set being specified by the new design rules, and thereafter automatically converting grid points in the remaining gate array cells to the new system.
