Course Description

ASIC physical design engineers will convert the gate level netlist from Synthesis into a physical representation (Layout) which will be sent to the fab for manufacturing. As Physical Design Engineer you will have to “fit” the design within a given area and meet the power and timing constraints set by the chip lead. Initially you will work as a SoC block level Physical Design Engineer and later on in your career move up the ladder to own the complete chip implementation

ADAD-Physical Design course is designed to make you a competent and productive Physical Design Engineer and learn how to use Synopsys ICC2, Primetime and other tools involved in layout design. The course enables you to acquire knowledge, skills, and practical experience across the entire Backend ASIC Flow (Netlist to GDSII) using Synopsys tools.

The course covers key fundamental concepts of ASIC Physical Design methodology which will enhance the employability of the students. The focus will be on STA, timing closure, PowerPlan and Floorplan, placement, Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS), routing and physical verification (DRC, LVS and ERC). Concepts of parasitic extraction and its impact on timing and power will be discussed.

Domain Specific Topics

  • Introduction to the ASIC Flow
  • Design Setup and design automation
  • Chip-Level and Block-level implementation steps
  • Floorplan and power planning
  • Placement and Clock Tree Synthesis
  • Routing, Physical Verification DRC, LVS, and DFM checks
  • Signal Integrity and Back Annotation
  • Sign-off checks and Tapeout

Placement Oppurtunities:

RV Skills placement record in VLSI has been an impressive 90%.
