Updated layer order per customer's request.




Version 1.06 10-23-2023

Software Updates

Removed Cross display from Layer 1 of the output GDSII file.
Prevent duplicate cell names in the output file - Duplicate cell id's stemming from lower case characters will be followed by a digit.




Version 1.05 10-5-2023

VS2015 Windows 64 bit

This version was compiled with VS2015 for Qckvu3 Windows 64 bit.
Updated boolean components and removed boolean result reports.




Version 1.03 4-16-2013

Scaling Bug in Offset Fixed

Fixed a bug when reading the offset values for SINF files. The correct offset is now performed.




Version 1.02c 4-13-2013

fixed margin scaling

Margin was incorrectly scaled. Fixed.

Reduced text size to avoid cell extents error.

(This is really a qkcvu3 problem but by reducing the text magnitude, Qckvu3 does not get confused about the cell extents.)

Die Count

Added a count of each die type to the log file




Version 1.02a 4-03-2013

Image Offset Error for ASML 5500

Fixed an error when computing the image offset and size.




Version 1.02 3-29-2013

Image Support

Added image support with layering in addition to cell outline.

Wafer Margin

Added ability to draw a user defined margin to show the exclusion zone.




Version 1.01 3-15-2013

SINF Fix

Previous version would fail if the SINF input file did not have a value for wafer flat. If this occurs now, the program assumes that the wafer flat=0 and that it is on the bottom of the wafer.




Version 1.00a 1-28-2013

SINF Support Added

Added support for the SINF file format (used in wafer test)




Version 1.00 1-20-2013
