Abstract
The authors present an overview of a system designed to generate integrated circuits so that they meet their performance specifications. The system is based around CSL (Circuit Specification Language), an object-oriented language designed specifically for the purpose of generating integrated circuits. The usefulness of CSL in calculating the size of transistors in the circuit so that they meet the specification is discussed. This is the task for which CSL was originally designed but it is believed that it will prove capable of handling all stages of silicon compilation
