What will I learn?
This VLSI Physical Design Course provides a quick, hands-on route from RTL handover to tapeout. You will learn floorplanning, macro and IO planning, power grid design, IR drop management, placement, CTS, routing, and timing closure for a 32-bit pipelined ALU. Gain expertise in signoff checks such as STA, DRC, LVS, extraction, reliability, and final GDSII outputs to confidently create efficient, manufacturable chips.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- RTL to netlist handover: import, sanity checks, and clean synthesis outputs.
- Floorplanning expertise: macro, IO, power grid, and physical hierarchy in CMOS.
- Placement and CTS: congestion-aware placement, robust 500 MHz clock trees.
- Power integrity in practice: IR drop, decap planning, and current density limits.
- Signoff confidence: STA, DRC/LVS, reliability checks, and fab-ready GDSII.
