Course Description:
This course takes participants through an intro to IC Design. Students will be introduced to the basics of IC Design. Fabrication processes and layout design techniques will also be introduced. They will then go through the Digital IC design flow covering the design flows and tools required to successfully implement modern Digital IC designs, ready for manufacture. The course starts with building RTL code, and then examines; synthesis , timing constraints, physical implementation (floorplanning, placement, CTS and routing). Participants will also get introduced to Digital verification techniques. IO design and packaging techniques will be discussed to let the participants understand another important IC design pillar.
All instructors and mentors and experienced industry professionals with multiple years of experience. Participants will meet their instructors 2-3 hours per week to go through the newly discussed material, get hands-on tasks to be performed and discuss what they did in the previous week. They will then work on their hands-on tasks during the rest of the week. Meetings will be mainly Sundays @ 1pm in ASU iHub.
