Layout Software

WieWeb software's main product is the layout editor CleWin. CleWin is a layout editor we designed in cooperation with the MESA+ Research Institute at the University of Twente and Deltamask, a mask making company.

CleWin runs on a PC with Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7. It is compatible with other layout packages because it uses the standard CIF and GDS-II file formats. Furthermore, CleWin can read and write the AutoCAD DXF, Gerber RS-274X and Electromask and Mann file formats. High resolution PostScript is available as output format.

Because CleWin is also meant to be used by students a lot of attention is given to the user interface. CleWin is a hierarchical layout editor, i.e. a layout consists of symbols (also called cells) which may be nested. Editing a symbol in one place will change all other instances of the same symbol. CleWin shows a hierarchical list of all symbols in a design, so that each symbol definition is directly accessible for editing. Furthermore, the hierarchical list provides a clear overview of the file structure and the dependencies between the defined symbols.

The most important features of CleWin include:

• Unlimited undo function.
• 1 nanometer resolution.
• Hierarchical tree-view of the design giving direct access to every symbol definition.
• Improved polygon and wire editing.
• Full support of true-type fonts.
• Editable text and arc-wires.
• Snap to guidelines.
• Rudimentary library functions.
• Powerful scripting possibilities in C, MatLab (requires a separate MatLab license) and MaskEngineer (built-in module).
• Built-in area calculator and cross-section viewer

CleWin version 4.0 is available in two editions: the standard edition for Euro 1950, and the pro edition for Euro 2250 (small site license). For a complete price list, please download the pdf flyer or contact us by e-mail. For universities and (non commercial) research institutes, updates are free until the version number changes into 5.0. For companies, an update and support contract is offered by PhoeniX BV.
