Abstract
This paper describes an IC layout methodology based on arbitrary outline cells, prevention of overlap, and mixed programs and graphics. Advantages are: no loss in area over hand packing; incremental checking of design rules, component interconnection, and timing; reduction of visible complexity; and easy implementation. Disadvantages are: possible proliferation of cell types and poor handling of cells with contacts not on the boundary. An implementation that uses and enforces this methodology is discussed.
