In this paper, the authors discuss the design of an Integrated Circuit (IC) layout for a decoder. The layout was designed by using an open source software namely electric VLSI design system as the ...

Standard electronic design automation (EDA) tools can be used to produce a semiconductor layout, which can be used to manufacture a device with targeted performance specifications. Unfortunately, ...

As integrated circuit (IC) designs have grown in complexity, scale and speed requirements, design rule checking (DRC) has evolved from a routine step into a critical pillar of successful tapeouts.

Researchers at Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) have developed an artificial intelligence approach that addresses a key bottleneck in analog semiconductor layout design, a process ...

3D IC chiplet-based heterogeneous package integration represents the next major evolution in semiconductor design. It allows us to continue scaling system performance despite the physical limitationA ...
