expensive, could potentially compromise the integrity of the project.
-We therefore intend to collaborate with engineers from the Laboratoire
-d'Informatique de Paris 6, to use and improve their VLSI Layout tool,
-Coriolis2, in conjunction with Chips4Makers, to create the layout that
-Chips4Makers will then put into a 180nm 300mhz test chip.
