Abstract
Amoeba is an auto-interactive system which provides the chip designer with a powerful tool for cell layout. The system contains both interactive graphics tools, which give the user a great deal of control over the layout process, and highly automatic commands, which eliminate many of the tedious and error prone tasks. The designer works with a symbolic rather than physical data representation which allows for easier construction of complex designs.
