layout magic

List of IC Design Tools, that are free

Magic VLSI, *nix
**broken link removed**
Electric VLSI, its based on Java so you can run it anywhere
http://www.gnu.org/software/electric/
Alliance CAD, complete netlist-GDSII, also includes a VHDL compiler, *nix
http://www-asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance//
Microwind, Windows
**broken link removed**
LASI, Windows
**broken link removed**

Out of the above, I would suggest Electric VLSI. It comes with exhaustive documentation and many features. Magic VLSI has also comparable features but its more often used in the academia. Just try all of them and pick one that you are most comfortable with.

LASI looks very out-dated but it was released with the popular book "CMOS Circuit Design, Layout and Simulation by Baker,Li,Boyce"

Good luck and happy designing.
