Stixu: An Open-Source Idea for Planning Integrated Circuit Layouts Efficiently

Stick diagrams are a traditional tool used to quickly design the topology of an integrated circuit on paper before beginning the time-consuming CAD layout process. Stixu is a browser-based, open-source EDA tool for stick diagrams. It provides built-in output analysis capability and offers both VLSI learners and professionals with an open-source means to quickly and easily validate CMOS topologies.

Abstract

Stick diagrams are a traditional tool used to quickly design the topology of an integrated circuit on paper before beginning the time-consuming CAD layout process. Stixu is a browser-based, open-source EDA tool for stick diagrams. It provides built-in output analysis capability and offers both VLSI learners and professionals with an open-source means to quickly and easily validate CMOS topologies.
