Changes not yet applied. Later legislation changes this provision in ways not yet written into the text below:

  1. a.

    Specially designed for implementing ‘Register Transfer Level’ (‘RTL’) to ‘Geometrical Database Standard II’ (‘GDSII’) or equivalent standard; or

  2. b.

    Specially designed for optimisation of power or timing rules.

Technical Notes

F3For the purposes of 3D006.:

  1. 1.

    ‘Electronic Computer-Aided Design’ (‘ECAD’) is a category of “software” tools used for designing, analysing, optimising, and validating the performance of integrated circuit or printed circuit board.

  2. 2.

    ‘Register Transfer Level’ (‘RTL’) is a design abstraction which models a synchronous digital circuit in terms of the flow of digital signals between hardware registers, and the logical operations performed on those signals.

  3. 3.

    ‘Geometrical Database Standard II’ (‘GDSII’) is a database file format for data exchange of integrated circuit or integrated circuit layout artwork.
