DEAR Netter:    
   I am a fan of VLSI design, but I know very little, I took a course,
but nothing was told about how to manufacture those chips.
   I desperately need information about:


   1) Is there a CAD simulation software on IBM PC 386 like Cadence? 
by which I
could design some chips at home.???? How much does it cost ?    
  
   2) After design, Is there any place that I could manufacture them
easily, What equipment I needs to manufacture, 10um -0.5 um, what is the
difference of these equipment. I need address and name of equipment, if
there are some explanation and estimated cost, I would appreciate.



Thanks in advance for you to let me know something.
