Abstract
Methods for generating a device layout are provided. First, design rules corresponding to a specific technology are received. A selection of at least one element and a parameter value corresponding to at least one parameter on the selected element are received. A draft device layout corresponding to the selected element is generated by a device generator by referencing the parameter value and the design rules. A script is then executed to modify the draft device layout to generate an updated device layout. The script includes at least one command, and when the script is executed, the at least one command is performed to modify the parameter value of the at least one parameter of the selected element and cause the device generator to delete the old draft device layout and generate a new draft device layout by referencing the modified parameter value and the design rules.
