What will I learn?
This VLSI Physical Design Course offers a quick, hands-on route from RTL handover to tapeout. You will learn floorplanning, macro and IO placement, power grid setup, IR drop management, component placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and timing optimisation for a 32-bit pipelined ALU. Gain expertise in signoff processes like static timing analysis, design rule checks, layout versus schematic, extraction, reliability verification, and final GDSII outputs to produce reliable, manufacturable integrated circuits.
