III.Account
- After a professor has the application approved for the TN16FFC/TN7 process, he/she can create six dedicated accounts for each process to share with authorized students. (For instance, if Prof. Chen's applications for both the TN16FFC and TN7 processes are approved, he/she will have six TN16FFC process accounts and six TN7 process accounts.)
- Each process is allocated a total hard disk capacity limit of 250GB across a professor's six dedicated accounts.
- Each account password has a validity period of 60 days. If the password is not updated before it expires, the account will be locked, and you will be unable to log in. Kindly ensure to log in to your SL account within the password validity period and update your password accordingly.
IV.Course and Technical Support
- TSRI regularly offers a practical course titled "TN16FFC Process Full Custom IC Design Flow," which utilizes actual process data combined with hands-on practice to instruct designers on relevant considerations when using TN16FFC process data (such as iPDK usage and layout, etc.). You are encouraged to visit TSRI's official website and navigate to the 'Training' section for further information.
- For technical inquiries, please use the Customer Consulting System.
- For environmental and equipment issues, contact the Customer Service Center at extension 7610 during office hours; during the night, please document any issues at the lab check-in and they will be attended to the following day.
V.Import/Export
Customers are unable to import/export files independently and require assistance from TSRI's staff. The status of file imports/exports will be determined by the practical operations of the responsible staff.
- Importing Files: (Applications must be submitted before 15:00) Customers should compress the files they wish to import into 'zip' or 'tar' format and save them on a USB flash drive, naming the compressed file as: account_date (account_yyyymmdd). Please notify the check-in counter that you have files to import, and they will contact the responsible staff to assist you.
- Exporting Graphics Files: (Applications must be submitted before 16:00) If you plan to export simulation results, layouts, or other graphic files, please compress the graphics files into 'zip' or 'tar' format, and name the compressed file as: account_date (account_yyyymmdd). Then, apply for export from the computers in our laboratory (operation manuals are available in the lab). After our staff have inspected and approved the files, they will assist with the export process and send the files to your designated personal e-mail.
