Saw Draw: An Interactive Graphical Layout System For Surface Acoustic Wave Devices, Jeffrey Blair Abbott

Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

This thesis introduces a solution to the problem of time and memory space requirements associated with the manipulation/creation of solid state device layout. Through the use of a hierarchical organization of data and a tailored indexing technique, the software described here, referred to as Saw Draw, is capable of manipulating huge amounts of data in a short period of time. This program was written for surface acoustic wave (SAW) device layout but works for a broad range of devices to include semiconductors, microstrip and others.

Due to the large number of details which must be stored for each SAW structure, …
