Technological parameters are available from foundries through NDAs, so don't expect me to give you such confidential informations. > Finally I would like to know if it is possible to layout multigate transistors > (I don't have seen any option in the menu bars). I don't know what you mean by multigate transistors, but you can draw transistor with corners using the C_X_(N/P) contacts. Have a look on the cell gruobot_c.ap in the grog library ... > Thank for your kind attention. > > Sincerely, > > --Gianluca Cornetta > -- Best regards, Ludo.
