Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology

Product Description

The second of two volumes in the , Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology thoroughly examines real-time logic (RTL) to GDSII (a file format used to transfer data of semiconductor physical layout) design flow, analog/mixed signal design, physical verification, and technology computer-aided design (TCAD). Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss design for manufacturability (DFM) at the nanoscale, power supply network design and analysis, design modeling, and much more.
New to This Edition:

Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow, where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs
Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography
New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition―these are illustrated by new chapters on 3D circuit integration and clock design

Offering improved depth and modernity, Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology provides a valuable, state-of-the-art reference for electronic design automation (EDA) students, researchers, and professionals.

Review

Praise for the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition – Two-Volume Set
“… contains the most up-to-date nuts and bolts of the front-end and back-end design automations. … covers every single EDA aspect imaginable in vivid detail. … This book will be very useful for master’s and PhD students who are doing their theses in IC design. … This is by far the most comprehensive book on EDA in the market. Every IC design company should purchase this book as a reference for their engineers.”―Faisal Mohd-Yasin, Griffith University, Queensland, Australia
“… comprehensive coverage of all aspects of algorithms and EDA tools for modern VLSI design, starting from system design to GDSII tape out, including testing. … Practicing engineers and graduate and undergraduate students will find these two volumes to be sources of extensive knowledge. … This book is well written with in-depth explanation of basic concepts as well as advanced topics.”―Dr. Soumya Pandit, Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics, University of Calcutta, India

About the Author

Luciano Lavagno received his PhD in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, USA (UC Berkeley), in 1992, and from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1993. He is a coauthor of two books on asynchronous circuit design, a book on hardware/software codesign of embedded systems, more than 200 scientific papers, and 12 US patents. Between 1993 and 2000, he was the architect of the POLIS project, a cooperation between UC Berkeley, Cadence Design Systems, Magneti Marelli, and Politecnico di Torino, which developed a complete hardware/software codesign environment for control-dominated embedded systems. Between 2003 and 2014, he was one of the creators and architects of the Cadence C-to-Silicon high-level synthesis system. Since 2011, he has been a full professor with Politecnico di Torino. He has been serving on the technical committees of several international conferences, workshops, and symposia. He has been the technical program chair of the Design Automation Conference, and the technical program committee and general chair of the International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis. He has been an associate editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Circuits and Systems and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Transactions on Embedded Computing. He is a senior member of the IEEE. His research interests include
