A possible choice for layout software is the newly developed IntelliCAD system.
IntelliCAD consists of a layout editor with CIF and GDS-II compatibility; and
much more. It also consists of material and fabrication databases, a solid
modeler for visualization of a device, an expert-system based process debugger,
a process simulation module (including SUPREM), an electrostatic simulation
module, a finite element simulation module, ..........

IntelliCAD will allow users to input step by step fabrication process recipes
and mask layouts. By simple commands, users can simulate the thermo-mechanical
or coupled electrostatic-mechanical performance of a device at any fabrication
step. This system will run on all major UNIX platforms that support X-windows.
On November 15, 1995, researchers at IntelliSense will release the complete
IntelliCAD. We will be looking for Universities to make beta site arrangements
on the future developments.
