CAD Tools for Mask Generation is a general title that refers to Computer-Aided Design software that produces as its output mask-level descriptions of integrated circuits. The current state-of-the-art for general mask generation in a custom design environment is that of symbolic design. So this chapter is about symbolic design and how it generates a mask. Included are discussions of design capture, circuit description languages, compaction and technology encapsulation all in the context of the symbolic design environment. General overviews are not given in most cases. Instead, a feel for this technology is given through specific examples of a system most familiar to the author.
