Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The course is designed to give the student an understanding of the different design steps required to carry out a complete digital VLSI (Very-Large-Scale Integration) design in silicon

Course Content:

This is an introductory course which covers basic theories and techniques of digital VLSI design in CMOS technology. In this course, we will study the fundamental concepts and structures of designing digital VLSI systems include CMOS devices and circuits, standard CMOS fabrication processes, CMOS design rules, static and dynamic logic structures, interconnect analysis, CMOS chip layout, simulation and testing, low power techniques, design tools and methodologies, VLSI architecture.
