CMPE 640 - Custom VLSI Design

[3]

This course introduces the CMOS VLSI design process and focuses on design at the circuit and physical levels. Students design, implement, fabricate and test basic logic gates and other VLSI structures such as adders and multipliers using computeraided design tools and laboratory test and measurement equipment. Basic layout and simulation techniques are covered in addition to CMOS processing technology, MOS transistor theory, performance estimation, CMOS design styles, VLSI structures and timing issues. The Verilog hardware description language is used in the laboratories.
