            The MOSIS Service is a low-cost prototyping service for cus-
            tom  and  semi-custom  VLSI circuit development.  MOSIS pro-
            vides fast-turnaround fabrication of integrated circuits  by
            subcontracting  with  major  mask,  fabrication and assembly
            vendors.  MOSIS runs can support projects designed using the
            set  of  generic  MOSIS design rules, the wafer fabricator's
            design rules or the DoD's.   MOSIS-compatible standard  cell
            libraries  have  been  loaded  onto Cascade, Cadence, Dazix,
            Mentor, Synopsys and Viewlogic.  A  wider  range  of  layout
            tools  can be used to generate full custom designs.  Designs
            are typically sent to MOSIS through the Internet in CIF for-
            mat  or on tape in Calma GDSII or MEBES format and parts are
            shipped to designers via Federal Express.  To obtain  E-Mail
            information about MOSIS send a message to MOSIS@MOSIS.EDU in
            one of the following formats.   Take  care  not  to  include
            extra  colons  in  your message or MOSIS will not be able to
            parse it.
