VLSI layout of an inverter circuit using Magic software. Magic is an electronic design automation (EDA) layout tool for very-large-scale integration (VLSI) integrated circuit (IC) originally written by John Ousterhout and his graduate students at UC Berkeley. Work began on the project in February 1983.
EAGLE is a scriptable electronic design automation (EDA) application with schematic capture, printed circuit board (PCB) layout, auto-router and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) features. EAGLE stands for Easily Applicable Graphical Layout Editor (German: Einfach Anzuwendender Grafischer Layout-Editor) and is developed by CadSoft Computer GmbH.
Besides the commercial vendors there are plenty of free GDSII utilities. These free tools include editors, [3] [4] [5] viewers, [6] utilities to convert the 2D layout data into common 3D formats, [7] [8] utilities to fly through a 3D version, [9] utilities to convert the binary format to a human readable ASCII format [10] and program libraries ...
At this point it is said to be "LVS clean." (Mathematically, the layout and schematic netlists are compared by performing a Graph isomorphism check to see if they are equivalent.) In most cases the layout will not pass LVS the first time requiring the layout engineer to examine the LVS software's reports and make changes to the layout.
The OpenROAD project offers a complete stack of tools from high-level synthesis down to layout generation [7] The flow includes Yosys for logic synthesis, OpenLane for physical synthesis and targets the SkyWater 130nm PDK. The flow is currently utilized to submit design for free fabrication at Google. [8] [9] [better source needed]

Initially PCB was not intended to be a professional layout system but as a tool for individuals to do small-scale development of hardware. [ 1 ] [ 3 ] The second release 1.2 introduced user menus. This made PCB easier to use and increased its popularity. [ 1 ]
Schematic capture or schematic entry is a step in the design cycle of electronic design automation (EDA) at which the electronic diagram, or electronic schematic of the designed electronic circuit, is created by a designer. This is done interactively with the help of a schematic capture tool also known as schematic editor. [1]
