    Design and Implementation of VLSI Systems

    Uploaded by

    Cuong Huynh
    This document provides an overview of a lecture on VLSI systems design and implementation. It introduces VLSI systems and their components, which include transistors, wires, and logic gates. It then describes the VLSI design flow as a multi-step process involving idea conception, specification writing, system design and analysis, fabrication, and evaluation. Key aspects of the design flow are explained, including bottom-up and top-down methodologies, the role of CAD tools, and the fabrication process from mask layout to final chip. The document concludes by outlining the course prerequisites, topics to be covered, grading scheme, required textbooks, and contact information for the instructor.

    TECHNOLOGY SCALING
    If a pond lily doubles everyday and it takes 30 days to completely cover a pond, on what day will the pond be 1/2 covered? Moores Law. The number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles every 2 years.

    Quad core from Intel: ~600 million transistors in 286 mm2

    FEATURE SIZES

    Human Hair ~75 m


    .

    0.18 m 180 nm feature

    ~40,000 (65-nm node) transistors could fit on cross-section

    WHY SHOULD YOU LEARN ABOUT VLSI SYSTEMS?

    They are ubiquitous in our daily lives (computers/iPods/TVs/Cars//etc).

    This course can help you understand the devices you use.

    o The market for VLSI systems (and semiconductors) is worth $350 billion dollars.

    This course can help you get a decent job after graduation (or you can even start your own company).

    o VLSI design and analysis is fun!
