Master in Microelectronics Technology and Manufacturing Management
Module 3.2 - Design Tools
3.2.1 - Design Kit & Methodology
Program focus
This Program is aimed at giving an overview of the complete design flow
of a semi-conductor circuit, from specification to layout and mask making.
All the design steps are presented with their associated tools. The technology
challenges in the design domain are outlined, and the necessity to manipulate
higher abstraction levels to meet the requirements of today’s System-On-Chip
is emphasized.
Labs are available to demonstrate the detailed implementation of 2 simple
test case (digital and analog)
Benefits
At the end of the course, you will have a good insight of the various steps
and tools involved in the design of digital and analog circuits, and you
will understand the impact of technology on the design flow.
3.2.2 - Design Validation
Program focus
This course gives an overview of most of the techniques that are applied
in IC verification. Starting from RTL verification up to physical design.
It covers the methodologies and strategies used in the definition and implementation
of a verification plan.
Benefits
At the end of the course, you will have a global knowledge of IC verification
techniques.
