Layout21

Custom integrated circuit layout.

test

  • A layered suite of layout-data formats, each expressed in the ProtoBuf schema description language.
  • Libraries for compiling from more abstract and terse such expressions into more-detailed.
  • Exchange with industry-standard formats such as GDSII and LEF.

Each of the internally-defined layout21 compilers, parsers and generators are implemented in Rust. Cross-language compatibility of the underlying ProtoBuf-based data schema allows for usage in most other popular languages.

Like most large Rust projects layout21 is a multi-crate workspace. Some internal crates are publicly available through crates.io. The "top-level" layout21 crate includes dependencies on all, and is the easiest entry-point for using all layout21 functionality. In layout21's namespace and in documentation most child-crates are referred to by their suffixes, i.e. layout21::raw.
