# Porting to a New Technology
If you want to support a new technology, you will need to create:
+ a setup script for each technology you want to use
+ a technology directory for each technology with the base cells
We provide two technology examples for [SCMOS] and [FreePDK45]. Each
specific technology (e.g., [FreePDK45]) should be a subdirectory
(e.g., $OPENRAM_TECH/freepdk45) and include certain folders and files:
* gds_lib folder with all the .gds (premade) library cells:
* dff.gds
* sense_amp.gds
* write_driver.gds
* cell_1rw.gds
* replica\_cell\_1rw.gds
* dummy\_cell\_1rw.gds
* sp_lib folder with all the .sp (premade) library netlists for the above cells.
* layers.map
* A valid tech Python module (tech directory with \_\_init\_\_.py and tech.py) with:
* References in tech.py to spice models
* DRC/LVS rules needed for dynamic cells and routing
* Layer information
* Spice and supply information
* etc.
