Hi Junaid

For a layout in a standard cells way(raw of cells), and if the synthesised
result is in structural VHDL, you can use the MSU library(public domain and
magic layout). You must have two tools: SIS and OCTTOOLS from UCB(Berkeley).

  1 -use vst2blif: structural VHDL to Berkeley Interchange Format
  2 -read the resulting blif file with SIS
  3 -map it to MSU library with SIS
  4 -store the mapped file in octtools format
  5 -use TimberWolf from the OCTTOOLS for the place and route
  6 -use oct2mag to convert your layout from octtools to magic format.

Good luck.
