VLSI Digital System Design PDF PPT SLIDES

VLSI Digital System Design

Course Overview

In this course we will cover the fundamental topics necessary to successfully engineer modern VLSI designs.  This requires that we investigate two overlapping areas of study.  The first gives students an introduction to fabrication technologies and device physics.  This involves learning how modern integrated circuits are manufactured and about their electrical properties. Then we will cover the principles of layout and how to simulate and verify small circuits. In addition, we will present a variety of trade-offs in full-custom design such as circuit style. The course will be project oriented and will be one of the most relevent and practical courses for anyone interested in hardware design.
