Masque README

Masque is a Python module for designing lithography masks.

The general idea is to implement something resembling the GDSII file-format, but with some vectorized element types (eg. circles, not just polygons), better support for E-beam doses, and the ability to output to multiple formats.

Installation

Requirements:

• python >= 3.5 (written and tested with 3.6)
• numpy
• pyclipper
• matplotlib (optional, used for visualization functions and text)
• python-gdsii (optional, used for gdsii i/o)
• svgwrite (optional, used for svg output)
• freetype (optional, used for text)

Install with pip, via git:

pip install git+https://mpxd.net/code/jan/masque.git@release

TODO

• Mirroring
• Polygon de-embedding

Maybe

• Construct from bitmap
• Boolean operations on polygons (using pyclipper)
• Output to OASIS (using fatamorgana)
