Learning Outcomes : The course is about providing knowledge for the Design of VLSI Systems. It includes theory that covers a wide range of methodologies and techniques necessary for the efficient Design of these Systems. The course also includes practical Laboratory Exercises for the application and consolidation of the theory.
The course material aims to introduce students to the basic concepts and techniques of VLSI technology. It includes the design of Digital circuits in CMOS-VLSI technology.
In particular, it includes the design of basic gates and switches, sequential elements such as Latches, Flip-Flops. It then includes the design of more complex circuits.
It also provides the appropriate knowledge for the creation of the physical design (layout) and the Design Rules as well as construction details in the design of masks for the industrial production of Integrated Circuits.
Technological Issues such as Delay, Power Consumption, Interconnections, Scaling, Process Variation, Reliability are also analyzed.
Finally, the Verilog hardware description language is presented theoretically and practically in the design of complex VLSI systems.
