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 ...

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 ...

For the most part, we’ve all been doing integrated circuit (IC) and system-on-chip (SoC) layout the same way for decades. Designers put together the design, be it intellectual property (IP), block, or ...

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 ...
