Design-kit development based upon ISsiT's CMOS 1µM process technology

This paper summarizes the necessary steps we went through to develop a design-kit for full-custom design based upon ISiT's CMOS 1 μm technology process. All basic information dealing with technology setup, rule decks and analog simulation environment is provided and commented. The design-kit is fully compliant with Cadence Generic Process Design-Kit (GPDK) methodology guide, revision 1.8, September 2002. It has been developed using Cadence IC-Package IC5.1.41 tool-chain version, running under Solaris 10 OS. To validate our design-kit, an inverter cell has been designed according to the standard full-custom design flow.
