WEBINAR: VLSI Design Methodology Development

This webinar provides a brief overview of a new text, VLSI Design Methodology Development. The content of the book will be reviewed, highlighting topics that have recently influenced SoC design methodology features – e.g., FinFET circuit libraries, multipatterning lithography, layout-dependent effects, electromigration analysis and FIT rate calculations, test pattern compression. Although the text is targeted toward providing microelectronics students with an up-to-date description of SoC design flows and methodology options, professional engineers will hopefully also find the discussion of current methodology issues to be of interest. The author will provide examples from the text, followed by a Q&A session.
