Fundamentals of Integrated Circuit Layout Design

A bottom-up instructional guide to integrated circuit (IC) physical layout design Physical layout design remains a critical yet underserved topic in IC education, where most textbooks emphasize circuit theory over the schematic-to-silicon transition.Fundamentals of Integrated Circuit Layout Design addresses this gap directly, walking readers through layout design using a bottom-up approach that progresses systematically from technology and device level through circuit level to complete chip level.The text covers the standard CMOS microfabrication process flow and realization of non-transistor components including resistors, capacitors, inductors, and diodes.Analog and digital layout techniques are treated separately.Coverage extends to design verification tools such as design rule check, circuit extraction, and layout-vs.-schematic, plus foundry roles, multi-project wafer runs, and advanced MOS microfabrication technologies.Readers will also find: Various techniques responding to needs
