EE 414 - Introduction to VLSI Design
(Fall 2009)
Course Description
| | This course introduces students to the fundamentals concepts of CMOS VLSI circuit design. This course will cover CMOS device characteristics and timing. CMOS fabrication will be covered including process steps, metal, active, and poly layers, and design rules. CAD tools will be introduced for use in design, simulation, and layout of integrated circuits. Design analysis techniques will be presented for the static and dynamic evaluation of CMOS circuits. Advanced topics such as Dynamic Logic and SRAM design will also be presented. |
