These presentations were given at a workshop offered to faculty and students in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Michigan, Friday, October 17, 2003.

MOSIS is a low-cost prototyping and small-volume production service for VLSI circuit development. Since 1981, MOSIS has fabricated more than 50,000 circuit designs for commercial firms, government agencies, and research and educational institutions around the world. This workshop provided an overview and history of MOSIS, its technologies and services offered, and its customer base. The MOSIS educational program was described.

Practical aspects of integrated circuit design transfer and fabrication were discussed. In particular, several logistics were covered - including topics such as adequate verification, design backannotation and simulation, metal fill, antenna rules, and design transfer. EECS graduate students Michael McCorquodale and Eric Marsman presented on analog, RF, and digital design.

This workshop is intended to increase the likelihood of success for all designs transferred from a university setting to MOSIS. Individuals who intend to submit a design to a foundry through MOSIS, or any other foundry, should benefit from the material.
