Find or create a Python library which able to read the `.mdm` file format

We need a decent Python library which makes it trivial to open the `.mdm` files found in these repositories. Will be useful for plotting the data with things like matplotlib...

Fix the naming of the primitives to be consistent with skywater-pdk format.

There is a spreadsheet @ [GF180MCU (GlobalFoundries 180nm PDK) -- Primitive Model Naming](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1G88IhyqXGVu-BgH8hA-_N2YQnNiyPoPEqvXSOzmOaaY/edit#gid=1803291424) which is tracking what the new naming scheme should be.

Convert xlsx files into an open file format (like ods or csv)

1

The pull request at https://github.com/google/globalfoundries-pdk-libs-gf180mcu_fd_pr/pull/20 added a whole bunch of data files in `xlsx` format. This format is hard to work with using only open source tooling. We should convert...

Add Magic DRC rules

## Expected Behavior The repository has DRC rules for both KLayout and Magic. This allows us to verify them against each other and less likely to miss things. This should...

Make sure the DRC rules have unit tests as well as bigger integration tests

It is general best practice to have lots of small units which only test one thing at a time. At the moment, the testing in #11 are more like integration...

Improve the top level spice file names under models

The names of the top level spice files are currently; ``` ./models ./models/ngspice ./models/ngspice/design.ngspice ./models/ngspice/sm141064.ngspice ./models/ngspice/smbb000149.ngspice ./models/xyce ./models/xyce/design.xyce ./models/xyce/sm141064.xyce ./models/xyce/smbb000149.xyce ``` The names `design` / `sm141064` / `smbb000149` don't really...

We have xschem related files in https://github.com/google/globalfoundries-pdk-libs-gf180mcu_fd_pr/tree/main/cells/xschem -- we should be checking that these work with CI in some way.
