Sandia Micro Generation for Integrated Circuits (SMAGIC) system and the hierarchical artwork (HAT) language
Abstract
SMAGIC provides a capability for generating the artwork directives associated with large hierarchically designed integrated circuits. The principal input to the SMAGIC system is the circuit description specified using the HAT language. The new language provides for specification of the usual geometric entities, for documentation internal to the artwork files and, even more significantly, for several PASCAL-like programming constructs.
