ELEC97037 Full-Custom Integrated Circuit Design


Lecturer(s): Dr Timothy Constandinou

Aims

CMOS Technology is currently the industry mainstream for the vast majority of all analogue, digital and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Most modern day consumer electronics including microprocessors, mobile phones, digital cameras are all implemented using CMOS technology. This module aims to: Familiarise you with CMOS integrated circuit technology from the basic fundamentals to more advanced topics, and; Establish a good understanding to the design process for full custom chip design used for both analogue and digital microelectronics.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this module, you will be able to: 1. Explain key features, limitations and topics related to CMOS technology 2. Describe full custom integrated circuit design methodology and issues/constraints related to analogue/digital/mixed signal circuit design. 3. Design and assess full custom integrated circuit layouts 4. Use a complete tool suite (schematic capture, simulation, layout design, physical verification) covering the full custom design of CMOS integrated circuits.
