LAB 03 Introduction of modern CAD tools (L-Edit) to

: implement layout design of Digital Circuits.

1. Learning Objectives:
 Software learning L-Edit.
 Implementation of Layout of NMOS,PMOS in L-Edit.
2. Equipment Required:
Software : L-Edit
Introduction of modern CAD tools (L-Edit) to LAB:03
implement layout design of Digital Circuits.
3. Lab Summary:
In this Lab I have implemented NMOS and PMOS Layout’s in L-EDIT software
and also viewed the cross sectional diagrams of NMOS and PMOS Layout’s. First
I opened L-edit and install tanner, Then selected CMOS025 library process for
design rules. After that I select Green color that is for Active region and draw a
rectangle shape Active area. Make another square of active area by the side. Then I
selected Red color Poly Silicon and draw a rectangle shape that is perpendicular to
the Active area. Then draw Blue color Metal to connect two Active regions by the
help of Black color Contact. Then draw N select and P select given in figures
below and at the end draw P well or N well also to cover the whole figure. After
that check errors by the help of DRC click. If no errors then go to tools and click on
cross section to view the cross sectional Diagram. All tasks are completed in the
lab and are shown to the instructor. Screen shots are attached of the tasks that are
completed in lab.
