Physical Design

Core Competencies:

1. Knowledge of PD Flow from netlist to GDS (Floorplanning, Synthesis, Power Planning, Placement & Optimization, CTS, Routing, ECO steps, Timing/SI)

2. Good idea about OCV/MMMC and multi power designs (Level shifters, Isolation cells etc)

3. Should have worked extensively on XTalk/SI/EM

4. Knowledge of CTS, Clock tree methodology and clock skewing.

5. Tool-specific knowledge: ICC, innovus, primetime, DC, Genus depending on the background

6. Knowledge of DRC/LVS, IR Drop, Formal Verification, and Synthesis.

7. The job would require complete ownership from netlist to GDS for blocks.

8. Should have worked on 28nm and lower technologies.

Tools: ICC or Innovus for PnR, Encounter for FloorPlan, Redhawk for IR Drop, PT/ PTSI, Calibre
