Course Objectives:
To introduce students to CMOS VLSI design methodologies with emphasis on full-custom chip
design. Students will make extensive use of CAD tools for IC design, simulation, and layout
verification. Specific techniques for designing high-speed, low-power, and easily-testable
circuits will also be covered.
