The text is organized around first introducing the globle view of digital of intergrated circuit design, VLSI and design automation and them sequentially developing the topics from the materials and devices level up through the circuits and them system level. While building a solid foundation and reference for the chip design, it integrates the discussion with hands-on examples of the design automation software,included in the book to illustrate not only the layout and simulation concepts but also how an industry designer would put them into practice. Both theory and application are effectively integrated into a cohesive treatment of the subject and art of chip design

FEATURES :  

• Contains a powerful CMOS layout programs,Microwind.
• IIIustrates how material layers are patterned to create a CMOS integrated circuit in the first part of the book with Microwind.
• Covers the electrical characteristics of MOSFETs as they relate to the layout. Simple analytic expressions are compared to SPICE models in Microwind
• Provides CMOS logic circuits and chip design in the main portion of the book,
• Includes a wealth of examples to help students master the material.
• Students will have designed, and performed simulations and layouts of complete digital IC's using a state of the art portable computer-aided design tool.
