Hi All,

I am not aware of a DRC  deck  specifically  written  for  TSMC's
0.35um  process.  I would suggest downloading the Wmosis.zip file
located at: WinLASI

The files ending in *.drc in the mosis.zip file were written  for
standard,  deep  and submicron MOSIS design rules. You can modify
one of these files for the TSMC process (or just  use  the  MOSIS
design  rules  directly).  I  haven't  had  any problems with the
design rule checking in LASI. It is very powerful and you can  do
a  lot  with  it  (which is a double edged sword...more power but
also more skill needed  to  write  the  check  files).  The  only
problem  I've  had  is related to electrical rule checking, ERCs,
(students not tying down the n-well with n+).

I would love to see a LASI user's group. I've made an attempt  to
solicit  contributions  (cells,  DRC  decks, etc.) located at: 
LASI Contributions

Perhaps, unless there is significant interest in a WinLASI user's
group,  we can continue to use the MOSIS user's group (unless the
volume of contributions increases  becoming  a  nuisance  to  the
MOSIS  user's  that  don't use LASI). Also, I'm always willing to
post contributions on the above link.

Take care and thanks for the interest, Jake (jbaker@ieee.org).
