1. Introduction ot ElectricVLSI, laying out a N-Well Resistor and building a Voltage Divider

2. Introduction
The purpos of this lab was to give an introduction to ElectricVLSI software  and the process of design process involved with building semi conductors by  designing a voltage divider.
 
3. Materials and Methods
ElectricVLSI  was used for designing the circuit and LT Spice was used to annalize the circuit. The ElectricVLSI software had to set up to interface with LT Spice and with the parameters to build a C5 semiconductor. Once the configuration of the software was completed a circuit was designed in ElectricVLSI comprised of two resistors, creating a voltage divider. The circuit was drawn in layout view, representing the actual N-well configuration.The circuit was then simulated in LT Spice with a transient annalysis for 1 sec and DC votage in of 1V.

5. Discussion
The results of the simulation showed the expected behavour of the voltage divider. One very important take home of this lab to understand the directory configuration required to run and save files and run simmulations with LT Spice  ElectricVLSI. Another important takehome was to  run  error checks on the circuit as it was being built. This saves a tremendous amout of time having to back track and fix errors later and the circuit continues to grow, and the errors become more difficult to track down and find. Future labs will build upon this circuit and the knoledge gained from building this voltage divider.
