Lab1: Downloading, Installing Magic VLSI Tool on Windows (Cygwin)

The objective of this lab is to download, setup, and construct a simple CMOS Inverter in Magic (You will simulate your inverter in Lab 2). You also need to download and install the technology files (i.e. the files that tell Magic about what are the behaviors of the devices that you are using in your circuit!). See this document for details.

Deliverables: A printed screen shot of your CMOS inverter in Class on Tuesday, January 29th. YOU MAY COOPERATE WITH YOUR CLASSMATES TO GET THIS LAB WORKING!
