In the nanometer era, die areas are getting larger as the designs are getting more and more complex. In order to ensure the correctness of the implemented design, bigger layout databases needs to be ...

A schematic diagram is not a detailed blueprint of an analog circuit; instead, it’s more like architectural sketch of the circuit. Look at any schematic for a CMOS analog IC circuit and you will see ...

A layout vs. schematic (LVS) physical verification tool performs a vital function as a member of a complete IC verification tool suite by providing device and connectivity comparisons between the IC ...

In PCB design, design for manufacturing (DfM) is all about correcting mistakes after reviewing a PCB layout. We then devise corrective actions to fix those mistakes and improve procedures to make ...

Design of CMOS digital integrated circuits, concentrating on device, circuit, and architectural issues. Analysis and design techniques in custom integrated circuit design, standard cells, memory. Use ...

A technical paper titled “AutoCRAFT: Layout Automation for Custom Circuits in Advanced FinFET Technologies” was published by researchers at UT Austin and NVIDIA. “This paper presents AutoCRAFT, an ...
