Abstract :
A sophisticated software framework, AMODA, is presented for the automatic migration of analog macro designs between different manufacturing processes. This very important requirement for efficient design re-use is formulated as an optimization problem, while AMODA provides full flexibility in the problem formulation to achieve high efficiency and quality design. The examples demonstrate the effective design re-use techniques that are integrated into the framework
