Basic VLSI Design Technology: Technical Questions and Solutions

The current cutting-edge technologies provide the end-users a marvelous amount of applications, processing power and portability with cost effectiveness.

This trend is accelerating at a good pace, with influential and significant implications on VLSI design and systems design.

VLSI design engineers are always in demand for front-end and back-end design applications.The book emphasizes the physical understanding of underlying principles of the subject.

It not only focuses on circuit design process obeying VLSI rules but also on technological aspects of fabrication.

Verilog HDL along with its modelling style and issues are focused.

Covering CMOS design from the digital systems level to the circuit level, the book explains the fundamental principles and is a guide to good design practices.The book is intended as a reference book for senior undergraduate, first-year post graduate students, researchers as well as academicians in VLSI design, electronics & electrical engineering, and materials science.

The basics and applications of VLSI design i.e. from digital system design to IC fabrication and FPGA Prototyping are elaborated in comprehensive manner.

End of each unit is associated with technical questions with solution, which will serve as a boon to VLSI engineers at entry level.Technical topics discussed in the book include: Digital System Design Design flow for IC fabrication and FPGA based prototyping Verilog HDL IC Fabrication Technology CMOS VLSI Design Miscellaneous (It covers basics of Electronics, and Reconfigurable computing, PLDs, Latest technology etc.)
