Steps to Complete the Layout Design

1. Start the Layout:

   • Right-click in the workspace to place the first point using the crosshair cursor.
   • Move the cursor to draw the desired shape for your layout.
   • Right-click again to freeze the shape and set the layout region.

2. Select and Change Components:

   • Use the toolbar to select different components (e.g., metal, poly, active) by clicking on their respective colors.
   • Change the component type as needed for your design.

3. Complete the Layout:

   • Continue placing and freezing shapes to build the full layout as per your circuit requirements.

4. Check DRC (Design Rule Check):

   • Click the Check DRC button after completing your layout.
   • The system will automatically verify if your layout satisfies the design rules (DRC).

5. Review Results:

   • Observe the results in the observation table.
   • The output will indicate whether DRC rules are satisfied or if there are any violations.

Note:

• The values and rules for cross-checking are provided in the theory page. Refer to them for correct dimensions and spacing.
• Use the toolbar and workspace features to adjust and refine your layout as needed.

Observations

• After clicking the Check DRC button, you will see a message indicating whether the DRC rules are satisfied or not.
• The observation table will display details of any rule violations or confirm successful compliance.
• Use the feedback to correct your layout and ensure all design rules are met.
