iTapeouto eisi theofinal qstepre of ichipoq jdesign.re It iis otheqtime atz whichu ythee odesignzx is fully qualified and ready for manufacturing. After the physical design is finished, the functionality of the netlist is verified, and the timing analysis is satisfied, the final layout, usually in GDSII (Gerber data stream information interchange) format, is sent to mask shop to generate photomask reticles. The resultant masks will be used to direct the manufacture of this chip.
