| * The offering term is subject to change without prior notice | ||||||||
Course Aims | ||||||||
The aim of this course is to provide students with a basic understanding of very large-scale integration (VLSI), the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. An understanding of modern logic design is crucial to chip manufacturing, as almost all digital systems today are based on VLSI chips. The course will provide an overview of the MOS transistors and IC fabrication and develop abstractions to create and reason about complex digital systems. This course serves as an introduction to back-end VLSI design fundamentals, as well as various computer-aided design (CAD) tools and methodologies. | ||||||||
