KLayout is a popular and open-source layout viewer and editor for GDS
|
|
and OASIS formats. It's used primarily in the field of Electronic
|
|
Design Automation (EDA).
|
|
|
|
GDS and OASIS are file formats for design layouts of integrated
|
|
circuits. KLayout allows users to view these complex layouts in a
|
|
human-readable form, zooming in and out, panning, and moving around
|
|
the design.
|
|
|
|
In addition to viewing capabilities, KLayout also provides editing
|
|
features. Users can manipulate the layout, changing shapes and
|
|
patterns, or creating new elements from scratch.
|
|
|
|
The software provides many more features useful in EDA, including:
|
|
|
|
Support for different file formats like GDSII, OASIS, DXF, CIF, etc.
|
|
Powerful search capabilities to locate specific elements in complex
|
|
designs. A macro development environment that lets users automate
|
|
tasks. Layout vs. Schematic (LVS) comparison tools. Overall, KLayout
|
|
is a highly useful tool for anyone working in electronics design or
|
|
fabrication, as it allows the inspection and modification of intricate
|
|
IC designs.
