The goal Introducing students to the back-end design of integrated circuits and systems. Training students to work with basic software packages for designing integrated circuits at the mask level.
The outcome Students had the basic knowledge of techniques and ability to design a small project of IC or integrated system using the Full Custom method.
Contents
Contents of lectures Short survey. CMOS production process. MOS transistor characteristics and models. Scaling. Full - custom IC design, rules and methods. Standard - cell design. Circuit extraction and simulation. Large capacitive loading, output buffers. Practical design aspects for combinational and sequential logic circuits. Structured logic design, clocking. Dissipation.
Contents of exercises Design project in several phases is obligatory for each student (Cadence), starting from the Full Custom design of simple integrated circuits, through hierarchical design, to integration into a system of lower complexity.
