一、課程說明(Course Description)
This course provides the fundamental knowledge of designing Very
Large-Scale Integrated circuits (VLSI). The coverage includes both
the full-custom design style as well as the cell-based synthesis flow.
It begins with a review of the IC fabrication process and the CMOS
transistor theory. Then, the layout rules and design techniques for
a variety of CMOS logic circuits such as inverters, logic gates,
flip-flops, and arithmetic circuits using different design styles
(e.g., static logic, steering logic, and dynamic logic) are discussed.
For system-level design, low-power techniques, semiconductor memories,
will be discussed in detail.
