Lab Description:

 This first laboratory experiment will go through the first part of tutorial 1 for Electric. The lab report consists of:

    1) Simply showing the first nine images in the tutorial with some simple narrative.

    2) Discuss how you will do regular backups while working on the future labs by zipping up your work and emailing it to yourself

        (include at least two images to support your discussion).


 

Tutorial 1 Images with Descriptions:

1) In the beginning of the tutorial I started electric and it had the default grey color scheme.

   

   

     

2) In the picture below, I went to Window -> Color Schemes -> White Background Colors. This changed the background to white. 

   

   

 

3) In this portion of the tutorial, I set up Electric to use ON Semiconductor's C5 Process and fabrication through MOSIS.

   

   

 

4) Next, I changed the lambda (scale) to 300 nm to comply with the C5 process. I did this through File -> Preferences -> Technology -> Scale. 

   

   

 

5) I created a new cell in the schematic view named R_divider, under the library tutorial_1 I created.

    

 

6) After this new cell was created, the library name and cell name are seen on the explorer as "tutorial_1:R_divider{sch}"

    

    

7) I placed an N-Well resistor node into the schematic.

    

    

8) I also changed the properties of the N-Well Resistor, by clicking that node and going to the object properties. I changed  the well resistance to 10k, width to 15, length to 187.5, and changed the x and y positions so that it would look nice in the drawing area. 

    

            

9)This is the schematic representation of a 10k N-Well resistor after the above changes to it's properties. 

    

      


      

  Backups:

While working on future labs, I will back up my work on those labs by zipping up the work and emailing to myself as well as save it on my personal desktop as seen in the following images.
