Data Conversion
Fast, Worry-Free Data Conversion to GDSII
The single, most important element in Data Conversion, is to produce data that precisely represents the
original data, with 100% accuracy.

With Digidat, Inc. you are assured that you have the experience of a company that has already translated
thousands of files between many different formats.  We have custom written post-processing programs that
check the data for typical integrity failures to ensure that the data is photomask ready.
The truth is that conversion programs and data formats are fickle and any one small mistake can cost
thousands in photomasks, wafers and lost business.  Although off the shelf programs are available that
perform data conversions, the data has to be drawn in a distinct way in order to achieve high reliability.

Typical problems include:

 Data drawn using open lines.
 Data on Data - Designer expects that holes will appear in the data.
 Text - Designer expects text to appear on the photomask.

 Lines with width used to create circles or donuts.
 Data created on layer 0 and referenced on a different layer.
 Polygons with too many points or sides.
