The Arraygen Command Line Syntax
The arraygen.exe utility was developed to create a MEBES job deck which places a
large number of cells (in MEBES parlance, a chip) on the mask with the
following conditions:
The chip’s name determines its location in the array
All chips are the same size
The array is centered on the mask
all chips are located in a common directory
all input parameters are in units of microns
arraygen.exe
the executable. Specify a full path such as
c:\wcad\arraygen.exe.
c:\wcad\arraygen.exe.
If the path has a space in it then use quotes i.e.
C:\Program Files\wcad\arraygen.exe
-inputdir:input_directory
the input directory containing the .mbs files. Specify a full path:
-inputdir:c:\files
If the path has a space in it then use quotes i.e.
“-inputdir:C:\Documents and Systems\steve\files”
you can also use a relative path
-inputdir:.
-out:job_file_name
the output job file name
-out:sample.job
If the path has a space in it then use quotes i.e.
“-out:C:\Documents and Systems\steve\sample.job”
you can also use a relative path
-out:./output/sample.job
the width and height of the cell (chip)
-cellwidth:Cx
-cellheight:Cy
-maskwidth:Mx
the width and height of the mask
-maskheight:My
-margin:M
the margin from the edge of the mask
-streetwidth:S
the distance between cell boundaries, known as the street width. If not present,
default = 0
the name of a header file (ASCII) that will be placed at the beginning of the
job deck. Can contain any directives for imaging needed by the mask shop.
-hdr:file_name
correct’s the pattern file names (.mbs) so that the reference in the job deck follows
the requirements and updates the pattern file names on disk to match.
