Improvements in IC technologies make existing layout libraries obsolete. In order to reuse these layouts, adaptation to the requirements of new technologies have to take place. In this paper a system is presented that automatizes this task using a locally two dimensional compaction algorithm. The system is able to handle arbitrary geometries and arbitrary technologies (including bipolar and mixed ones).
