Photomasks, Data Conversion, Layout, Reverse Engineering
Responsive, Cost Effective Services that take you from Design to
Photomask - Your Complete Photomask Solution.
Digidat, Inc. specializes in design layout, data preparation and conversion of data prior to the manufacture of
photomasks.  We cater to all size companies and supply photomasks of all specifications and sizes.

By eliminating costly mistakes in both data and paperwork, we save you time and money.  Cycle-time and
up-front costs are reduced, providing you with a full service CAD/Tapeout department with all the necessary
tools and the experience to use them.
LAYOUT                                        What is GDSII?
Layout is the process of converting a sketch,
engineering drawing or other descriptive format into a
CAD format suitable for creating a high-precision
photomask.  The GDSII data we produce is checked by
our "MaskCheck" program and guaranteed photomask
ready.
DATA CONVERSION to GDSII
Error-free data conversion is essential to receiving the
exact photomask that you expect.  We provide data
conversion and fracturing services between all formats,
including GDSII, DXF, MEBES, CIF, Gerber and BMP.  
Our custom written conversion programs detect and fix
many data issues that are not corrected in off-the-shelf
conversion programs.
PHOTOMASKS                     What are Photomasks?
We supply all kinds of photomasks with competitive
pricing.  Even if you don't use our CAD services, you
may find that we are able to obtain better prices with
better turn-times than would be available to you as an
independent buyer.  Call us for a quote today.
REVERSE ENGINEERING OF PHOTOMASKS
Through a unique process of extremely accurate, high
resolution photography and digital scanning, we
accurately reproduce GDSII data from photomasks.  This
is particularly useful in recreating designs that have been
lost due to media degradation.
PROGRAMMING/AUTOMATION
We reduce time and costs by writing programs that
automate repetitive tasks.  We can write programs and
scripts for you that will automate repetitive tasks such as
data generation, fracture and paperwork using DW2000
GPL, GPE, Cadence, Synopsis CATS, Microsoft Access,
Unix or VAX VMS.
