Advanced Synthesis and STA Training
Synthesis and STA Training is a 4 months course, provides the participants with in depth exposure to both Synthesis and complete Timing SignOff strategies for successful and confident Tape-Out of the Design to the Semiconductor Fabrication House.
Course Overview
Advanced Custom and analog layout training is a 4 months course targeted for working professional planning to pursue career as a layout design engineer or wants to learn advanced aspects of Custom and analog layout. Training focused on all the aspects of layout including Analog layout, Memory layout, Standard cell layout and IO layout.
Course also includes detailed sessions on layout basics, hands on standard cell layouts, IO layout and memory layout for different architectures. Followed by various analog layout techniques with detailed discussion on Mismatches & Matching, Noises & Coupling, various failure mechanisms which includes Electro migration, IR drop, LOD & Stress effects, WPE, Antenna Effects, Latch up, ESD. Course includes 20+ detailed labs & assignments covering all aspects of custom layout with multiple hands on projects.
Analog layout techniques will involve multiple hands on projects covering various concepts such as common centroid, inter digitation, resistor matching, capacitor matching and opamp circuits, current mirrors, PLL’s, ADC’s, DAC’s, Bandgap, Temperature sensors & Biases -> Current & Voltage bias lines, Large drivers, LNA & Mixers, and Sense amplifier & Bit cell development.
