The cost of design and mask sets have dramatically increased with the most advanced processes. Thus it is critical for design teams and mask data preparation teams to integrate robust and repeatable layout manipulation tools. This includes converters from and to the most common standards  OASIS ® , GDSII, CIF and PostScript.

XYALIS offers a family of converters:

GOTdb2ps

Documentation is an important part of the design process and it is critical to include high quality layout plots to the project reports.

XYALIS GOTdb2ps is a powerful and flexible tool that reads a GDSII or OASIS ® database and generates an encapsulated PostScript file for plotting on any PostScript printer.

  • Supports direct mask printing
  • Simplify plot with layer and cell exclusions
  • Fully customizable

GOTdb2ps is fully integrated with XYALIS IC Layout Manipulation suite and Mask Data Preparation solution and handles standard GDSII or OASIS ® layout format.

GOTdb2ps allows to easily and automatically generate documentation for chip design or library development. It offers many user friendly options to fully customize the output.

Thanks to dedicated options and unlimited precision capabilities, GOTdb2ps is also able to generate PostScript files for direct writing of wafers or photomasks.

GOTdb2cif and GOTcif2db

GOTdb2cif and GOTcif2db convert GDSII or OASIS ® layout databases into CIF file and reverse. Unlike OASIS ® or GDSII, CIF is a user readable format.

It is helpful for understanding and debugging databases as well as for building your own generators (ROM code generator…).

GOTdb2cif provides the possibility to get a cross-reference file for layer mapping between CIF and GDSII or OASIS ® database.

All the converters handle standard GDSII, OASIS ®  formats and work directly on compressed of gzipped files.
