Classic open-source VLSI layout editor for IC layout teaching and open-source PDK flows.
Magic VLSI is a classic open-source VLSI layout editor commonly used for integrated circuit layout drawing, DRC checks and teaching. In open-source chip flows it is often combined with tools such as SkyWater PDK, OpenLane and ngspice, making it suitable for learning CMOS layout and digital IC design fundamentals.
Use cases: VLSI layout, CMOS teaching, DRC, open-source PDKs, digital ICs, introductory chip design
Note: The interface and workflow are fairly traditional, best suited to users who want to learn IC layout or open-source chip flows.
