If you’re planning your career in the semiconductor industry, make sure you consider processor design. Now the aspiring VLSI engineers like you can implement the open-source processor RISC-V while ...

Abstract: With the ever-increasing density, development cost, and turn-around time of VLSI chips it becomes increasingly important to have a design verification methodology which enables first-pass ...

Mitul Soni, Gourav Kapoor,Nikhil Wadhwa,Nalin Gupta (Freescale Semiconductor India Pvt. Ltd.)Design Rule violation is one of the major challenges being faced by VLSI industry. With ever shrinking ...

Abstract: As the minimum VLSI feature size continues to scale down to the 0.1–0.2-µm regime, the need for low-resistance local interconnections will become increasingly critical. Although reduction in ...

OpenTimer is a new static timing analysis (STA) tool to help IC designers quickly verify the circuit timing. It is developed completely from the ground up using C++17 to efficiently support parallel ...

With the increasing complexity of SoC, multiple and independent clocks are essential in the design. Hence CDC verification becomes an integral part of any SoC design cycle. A typical SoC consists of ...

Unsubstantiated claims and insufficient reporting. Serious omissions are clear even without a background in chip design. U1. With “fast chip design” in the title, 30 the authors only described ...
