Introduction
This course is credit-bearing (3 AU) and stackable to:- Graduate Certificate in Integrated Circuit Design (9 AU)
- FlexiMasters in Integrated Circuit Design (15 AU)
- MSc in Integrated Circuits and Microelectronics (30 AU)
Learners will receive their Statement of Accomplishment (for a grade of D and above) or Certificate of Participation for this course—dependent upon their assessment performance.
This course is part of the FlexiMasters in Integrated Circuit Design.
This course aims to bridge the gap between theoretical digital Integrated Circuits (IC) design concepts and real-world implementations, through hands-on lab training on backend design of digital ICs. This course will cover a wide range of digital IC backend design skills with Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools including full-custom library cell design, floor planning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, timing analysis, design rule checking, layout and stick diagram, routing, layout versus schematic verification, pre- and post-layout power and delay simulations, critical path analysis and Graphic Data Systems II (GDSII) generation. After completion of this course, learners should be able to apply digital IC backend design principles into practical implementation using Cadence EDA tools, and demonstrate proficiency in manual and automatic layout, routing, and physical verification.
As this micro-credential course is only offered in the FlexiMasters in Integrated Circuit Design programme, learners are required to enrol into the programme and complete all required courses within this programme.
