*課程說明(Course Description)
This course provides the fundamental knowledge of fully-custom integrated
circuits (IC) design. 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, and IO plan will be discussed in detail.
You will also get familiar with the IC-related CAD tools (design, simulation,
layout, RC-extraction) after finishing all the assigned homework and project.
