Layout tool

for analog layout: M/e/n/t/o/r IC/St@tion or C/A/D/E/N/C/E IC LAyout plus (Layout Accelerator)

for digital blocks: /C/A/D/E/N/C/E: silicon_ensemble (better ultra_se or si_se)

 

[sutapanaki]

try also Catena laytools

You may try Avanti layout tools
-- Enterprise

 

[eternal_nan]

I would stay away from Enterprise. Cadence Analog Artist/Virtuoso combination is the best there is.

The most classic IC layout tool is Cadence virtuso . But some new tools ,such as Laker is also popular,especially in Taiwan .

 

[maolh]

I think Virtuoso is one of the best layout tools.

 

[alliance]

Laker is developed by taiwan company - Springsoft(Novas).

Virtuoso display speed is too slow when layout database is more larger.

Laker has better display speed when you need to zoom in and zoom out.

for windows, try tanner tools
