7. Objectives, learning outcomes and obtained knowledge

The goal of the subject is to present the students the methodology of the design of modern analog/mixed signal and MEMS integrated circuits, the tools and modern developer softwares, and the basic design steps. The subject includes the description of architecture and functions of modern CAD softwares, and it presents the design methods of MEMS devices.

8. Synopsis

In the frame of the subject the students get the knowledge of the basic principles and design methodology of the integrated circuits and MEMS devices. They get an overview from the system level design to the physical design. During the laboratory practices the students use industrial standard developer tools.

Weekly breakdown:

Week 1: Basics of system level design: FPGA, gate array, standard cell and full custom design. IC as a implementation form.

Week 2: (C)MOS principles, design rules.

Week 3: Implementation of basic digital gates and simple circuits on transistor level: the schematics, the layout and sizing

Week 4: Design tools. Open design tools. Cadence Opus and Mentor design tools as examples. Designer’s database, configurations.

Week 5: Methodology of IC design. Abstraction levels, simulations and validations. Top-down and bottom-up design methodology.

Week 6: Standard cell IC design. Cell library. Input forms: schematics, HDL description, blocks.

Week 7: Pre-layout simulation. Floor plan, detailed layout, post-layout simulation.

Week 8: Design for testability. Fault models, fault detection. The D-algorithm, ATPG, DFT, Scan-Path.

Week 9: Perspectivity of IC technology, trends. Full system integration on a single chip: passive devices and non-electronic functions.

Week 10: Problems with Deep-submicron technology, dissipation density, temperature-aware design

Week 11: Strategies of MEMS design. Presentation of different application specific design methodologies through different examples.

Week 12: Coupled physical modelling, multi-domain models,

Week 13: Modelling and simulation of MEMS devices. Numeric methods (Finite Element Analysis, Reduced Order Modelling, multi-physics simulations).

Week 14: General physical simulation softwares, MEMS design software tools.

9. Method of instruction

Theory, computer laboratory.

10. Assessment

 

a.       In the lecturing period:

 

One midterm test. The condition of the signature is achieving minimum fair level at the test.

 

b.           In the exam period:

 

Oral exam.

 

c.            Pre-exam:

 

exists


 

11. Recaps

To repeat the test one occasion is assured during the lecture period.

12. Consultations

Consultation is assured every week. The time and place of the consultation will be agreed with the students. Before the test special consultation will be offered.
