Program Overview
The program starts with understanding IC technology advantages, historical timelines, and the process of crafting Integrated Chips from Silica Sand. It covers MOS transistor design complexities, power dissipation types, low-power design techniques, and CMOS logic gate design insights. Participants then focus on circuit schematics/layouts, stick diagrams, Electric VLSI EDA tool usage, and simulation integration with LTspice for analog circuit design. The program also delves into CMOS logic circuit schematic and layout design, covering Design Rule Checking (DRC), simulation, and verification through LTspice for digital circuits. Specific topics include designing PMOS, NMOS, CMOS inverters, amplifiers, oscillators, AND, OR, XOR gates, and half adder circuits for practical verification.
