-Thus this wiki does not attempt to deal with detailed device physics, floorplanning algorithms, etc. Rather, it aims to provide a high level quantitative feel of how ICs are built so that they can be analysed for one reason or another. Information here is not aimed to be sufficient to actually design an IC but may give a good feel of what goes into it.

-If you want to contribute, we'd be more than happy to give you an account. Just send me a brief message telling me your interest in IC RE and what you think you might be able to contribute if you are given access. There are 2 or 3 people contributing right now and I'd like that to grow. Contact me directly at JohnDMcMaster <at> gmail.com
