			CMOS TOOLSET AVAILABLE

The University of Washington / Northwest VLSI Consortium has assembled
and integrated a number of VLSI tools from educational and industrial
sources.  A second release of these tools is now available.  Fully
supported are:  buried contact nMOS processes, the MOSIS 3 micron bulk
CMOS process, and a 5 micron isoplanar CMOS process.

Included in this package are:

	The March 1983 VLSI Tools from UC Berkeley, including Caesar,
	Lyra, Crystal, Mextra, Tpack, Spice2g6, and our enhancements
	to these tools.

	A pascal-based procedural layout system (Plap) with placement
	and interconnect capability for cells created with a graphical
	editor.

	Artwork display programs driving printers, penplotters and crt
	displays.

	A netlist generator and timing simulator (derived from MIT's
	Net/Presim/Rnl) including extensive tutorials.

	Pads, padframes, and PLA generators in all technologies.

	Characterized layouts for a set of standard cells in bulk and
	isoplanar CMOS.

The package of tools runs on a DEC VAX under the Berkeley UNIX operating
system, version 4.1 (A number of the tools are compatible with version
4.2).

All inquiries should be addressed to:

			Vicky Palm
			UW/NW VLSI Consortium
			Department of Computer Science, FR-35
			University of Washington
			Seattle, Washington 98195

	Telephone:	(206) 545-3796
	Electronic Mail: palm@washington

A release fully supporting UNIX 4.2, including additional enhancements
to the tools, will be available in the near future.
