Many disciplines have contributed to the


current state of art in VLSI design:

• Solid-state physics.
• Materials science.
• Lithography and fab.
• Device modeling.

• Architecture.
• Algorithms.
  • CAD tools.
• Circuit design & layout.
Lecture-1
 

Lets get started…

• We will review (learn for first time?) MOS


physics.

• Why MOSFET’s?
– CMOS circuits dissipate power only when switching
(they do use power when not switching, but is much
less than other circuits).
 

– This allows for more circuits to be placed on one die.

VLSI Design Flow

Definitions and Terminology:

• Abstraction; refinement.

• Synthesis; analysis; optimization.

• Extraction ; generation.

Design process traverses iteratively among three


 

domains shown in Gajski Y chart.
