Wolf, “Modern VLSI Design: IP-Based Design”, 4th Edition, Prentice Hall Modern Semiconductor Design Series, 2009, ISBN: 0-13-714500-4 Course Goal(s): Analysis, design, and layout of complex digital integrated circuits in MOS technology. The course emphasizes design through projects and requires extensive use of simulation and layout CAD tools. The student will learn the physical design aspects of IC chip design, which is a fundamental requirement for companies hiring ASIC design, physical design, and VLSI design engineers. Instructional Outcomes for the Course: Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Design and simulate a circuit that implements a specified logic function. 2. Use SPICE/ELDO/Spectre to analyze the interaction of device parameters with the overall performance. 3. Adjust the circuit parameters to meet the electrical specifications. 4. Translate the schematic into a set of patterned layers that form the integrated structure in a silicon substrate. 5. Use the CMOS design rules (minimum linewidths and spacing) and processing constraints associated with submicron processing technology. 6. Design and implement VLSI design of arbitrary logic functions, from basic Boolean algebra to complex logic functions including FPGAs. 7. Design digital circuits, including FSMs, with both a circuits and systems perspectives, using analytical and electrical simulation techniques. 8. Account for real-world sytem design issues such as signal integrity, power dissipation, and synchronization 9. Demonstrate understanding on state-of-the-art technique on a selected project topic, that includes low-power VLSI design, asynchronous circuits, clock domain crossing techniques. 10. Write quality technical reports. Course Topics: 1. Overview of VLSI design flow 2. Manufacturing Process 3. MOSFET Transistor Device 4. CMOS Inverter 5. Combinational Logic Gates in CMOS 6.
