-We are using an open-source ​PDK from NCSU.+We are using a **0.18 micron 6 Metal 1 Poly** (1.8V) CMOS technology for chip layout. In PDK specific terms, we will use **SUBM_DEEP** design rules with lambda(λ) equal to 0.09 micro meters with Lmin=2λNote that this λ is not the channel length modulation parameter!
  
-We will use the {{ :​wiki:​scmos_180nm.pdf | Scalable CMOS}} **SUBM** **design rules** for your layouts. Note that the design rules are given in terms of lambda (=0.09u) while Cadence Virtuoso uses absolute values without any scaling. Thus in your layouts, multiply all design rule numbers by 0.09u for final layout dimensions. E.g. the minimum N-well width of 12 translates into 12*0.09u=1.08u in Virtuoso layout. 
  
-The scalable CMOS (SCMOS) ​design rules are also available ​in a [[https://​www.eecis.udel.edu/​~vsaxena/​Cadence/​SCMOS_rules/​MOSIS_Layer_Map_for_SCN6M.html|web browsable format]].+The design rules are available ​as {{ :​wiki:​scmos_180nm.pdf | PDF}} and also in [[https://​www.eecis.udel.edu/​~vsaxena/​Cadence/​SCMOS_rules/​MOSIS_Layer_Map_for_SCN6M.html|Web Browsable Format]].
