Abstract :
The authors present a system for analog layout generation of integrated microcircuits (SALIM). The program, which combines a set of algorithms with a knowledge base, features two working modes: automatic and interactive. In the automatic mode, a knowledge-based expert system drives the algorithms. In the interactive mode, the designer task is reduced to the choice of basic elements and their association sequence
