Placing the Cells
The program, arraygen.exe, generates the MEBES job deck. The header of the job
file is read from an external ascii file. The only part of the job deck that
varies based on the input parameters are the CHIP and ROW statements which are
used to reference the desired cell file and to place it.
As mentioned previously, each cell name includes the information of where it is
located in the array. The purpose of the arraygen.exe program is to properly
calculate the insertion points for each cell and to format that in the job
deck.
This diagram shows the various dimensions involved and what the input parameters
represent geometrically.
Cx - cell width
Cy - cell height
Mx - mask width
My - mask height
M - margin to edge of mask
s - street width between cells
