I am an independant consultant specializing in Full Custom IC Layout Design
and writing verification rulesets using Dracula III(tm) from Cadence Design 
Systems. I currently have schedule space for a couple more contracts. I have 
7 years experience in custom IC design in both straight CMOS AVLSI and 
specialized BiCMOS processes. I also have 5 years experience in using Dracula 
to accomplish verification of layout of Printed Circuit Boards as well as MCMs.
I have also utilized Dracula for other CAD test issues relating to automated 
PCB testing prior to componant placement.

I am an off-site consultant. My rates are reasonable at $50/hour. (Consider
that some Vendors get up to $1500 a day!) I will quote jobs based upon
the amount and complexity of the layout required. (Obviously Standard
Cell design will be somewhat easier than Full Custom with high transitor per
square mil ratios). In my years as a Layout Designer I find that the 
average is about 3 leaf cells (15-25 devices per cell Full Custom) per
man-week), but I will give more detailed quotes upon receipt of schematics
and design rules. 

In my experience runsets take anywhere from 5 workdays to 6 workweeks. I will 
provide estimates given parameters of your process and the type of Design
Rules you need to have checked. My rates for Dracula Programming do not 
include toll charges for connection to your computers. (An account on your 
computers with access to Dracula is required) These will be billed monthly.

All layout work will be completed on a Calma Design Station and output will
be in Calma Stream Format on 1/2" Reel tape. Possible modem transfers can
be discussed.

I am a US citizen and am willing to sign non-disclosure agreements. All code
generated becomes the property of the hiring firm, though I reserve the right
to use similar techniques developed in conjunction with any contract on any
future contract.

I will be designing a 90K- 100K gate array but have never used SCAN 
before. Could someone point me to some literature. If you have a little
 time and have been through this before, I would appreaciate talking to
you for a few minutes.
      Regards,
            Chuck
