Introduction to Block Design Layout

These comprehensive courses are designed to equip engineers with the skills necessary for Block Design layout and dealing with most common reliability issues during physical design implementation. This covers topics such matching, block floorplanning, routing considerations, verification, and reliability issues along with their mitigation.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Learn about layers and cross-sections
  
  • Understand the fabrication process and how layers are created
  • Recognize common Layout Dependent Effects
  • Gain knowledge of parasitics in layout
• Understand the Design Rule Manual (DRM)
• Grasp the relationship between schematic and netlist with layout
