UW-MEMS Layout Format
Designs should be submitted in GDSII format. Tanner L-Edit is the recommended layout software. However, most of the other layout software tools can export to GDS format including CoventorWare. A template for this process can be found on our website. The layers should match the numbers posted in Table 3 of this handbook.
