Reid "Fable: A programming-language solution to IC process automation problems" view details Abstract: The Stanford University Center for Integrated Systems is embarking on an ambitious project to formally characterize integrated circuit fabrication processes, and to provide a degree of automation of research and prototyping activities in the IC fabrication facility. A crucial component of this project is the ability to represent an IC fabrication “recipe” in a repeatable, transportable, device-independent fashion. We have designed the language Fable for this purpose: it offers some novel approaches to abstraction and modularity. We describe the problem, explain why we were forced to devise a new language rather than use an existing language, describe important properties of the Fable language, and give several examples.
