Projects submitted to MOSIS for fabrication can be designed using either vendor-independent, scalable rules (MOSIS SCMOS Rules), or design rules specific to a process.

Design Rules
Vendor and MOSIS SCMOS


Projects submitted to MOSIS for fabrication can be designed using either layout design rules specific to a process (vendor native rules) or (for some processes) vendor-independent, scalable rules (SCMOS rules). These rule sets cannot be mixed within a design.

Use SCMOS rules for portability and simplicity. Use vendor specific rules for fine-tuned layout.

Vendor Rules
Vendors consider their rules, process specifications, and SPICE parameters proprietary and make them available to MOSIS commercial account holders in different ways.

SCMOS Rules
MOSIS Scalable CMOS (SCMOS) is a set of logical layers together with their design rules, which provide a nearly process- and metric-independent interface to many CMOS fabrication processes available through MOSIS.
