VLSI Design

Catalog description

Introduction to CMOS circuits, CMOS processing technology and physical characterization of gates, clocking strategies, I/O structures, and structured design concepts. The student will design, simulate, and lay out mask description of digital CMOS VLSI circuits. The design will be simualted using SPICE and RSIM. Circuit layout is created using MAGIC software package. The circuit will be fabricated by the foundry service supported by NSF/DARPA and tested.
