  full-custom
       
          Design of {integrated circuit}s at the transistor or polygon
          level.  This is in contrast to the use of libraries of
          components.  Full-custom design requires considerable skill
          and experience and is usually only feasible for simple


          circuits, especially ones with much repetition, such as memory
          device, where a small saving in the size and power consumption
          of a component will yield a large overall saving.
