Integrated circuit (IC) layout design plays a big role in the current semiconductor industry, especially for the most advanced technology. This course explores the big task of IC layout design and the practical problems with solutions in different layout fields, such as standard cell design, memory design, analog design, and mixed-signal field. This course introduces the students to the process, tools, and methodology of IC layout design. Moreover, it also provides the students with the insight into the exciting field of semiconductor technology and electronic devices. By going through the final project and competition, students will be brought to the next level of layout field and will have a wider vision to realize IC layout design. |
