Top Block Design Training

The course focuses on hierarchical layout implementation, addressing density, top block floorplanning, top block routing and integration, top block verification, and mitigation of reliability issues in top block hierarchies. Both courses would utilize Synopsys Custom Compiler or Cadence Layout XL for layout implementation.

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

• Learning Schematic Hierarchies and their Implementation in Layout
• Understanding and Resolving Density Issues
• Top Block Floorplanning
• Top Block Routing and Integration
• Mitigating Reliability Issues in Top Blocks
• Implement top-block level layout from floorplanning to routing and integration, and then to verification
  
  • Execute the implementation of top blocks with varying levels of complexity
  • Execute the implementation of top blocks in at least two different technologies

• Module 1: Top Block Floorplanning
• Module 2: Top Block Routing
• Module 3: Mitigating Reliability Issues in Top Blocks
