This book includes basic methodologies, review of basic electrical rules and how they apply, design rules, IC planning, detailed checklists for design review, specific layout design flows, specialized block design, interconnect design, and also additional information on design limitations due to production requirements.*Practical, hands-on approach to CMOS layout theory and design*Offers engineers and technicians the training materials they need to stay current in circuit design technology.*Covers manufacturing processes and their effect on layout and design decisions

This edition provides an important contemporary view of a wide range of analog/digital circuit blocks, the BSIM model, data converter architectures, and more. The authors develop design techniques for both long- and short-channel CMOS technologies and then compare the two.

MASTER IC LAYOUT WITHOUT AN ENGINEERING BACKGROUND! Tto new chip applications such as cell phones, personal digital assistants, and consumer electronics, electronic semiconductor usage has exploded, creating an unprecedented demand for technicians skilled in CMOS and bipolar design and layout. In IC LAYOUT BASICS, you get the same top-notch material utilized in IBM’s successful training courses. This essential primerbrings you up to speed on: * Integrated circuit processes * Layout techniques * Fundamental device concepts * Wafer processes Writing for technicians without an engineering degree , the authors present concepts from the ground up, building on the simple until the complex becomes crystal clear. Examples, self-tests, and sidebars reinforce the material and make it all quick and painless. For maximum retention, each chapter includes preview points, "motivation" boxes, and executive summaries.

"Physical Design of CMOS Integrated Circuits Using L-Edit is the first book/software package that enables engineering students and professionals to perform full IC layout on an inexpensive personal computer. The Student Version of L-Edit, included with the book on a 3.5-inch disk, is a full-featured layout editor that runs on MS-DOS compatible computers with minimal hardware requirements (640K RAM, a mouse, and an EGA or better color monitor). L-Edit allows the user to implement the physical design of an integrated circuit at the silicon level, and provides output for circuit simulation on SPICE. The entire process of chip design - once the exclusive province of workstation-based CAD systems - can now be performed on a PC." "Database files for many standard MOSIS CMOS processes are provided on disk, including Orbit and HP 2.0 and 1.2-micron technology base definitions. The program provides for circuit extraction (translating the layout to a SPICE-compatible text file), and design rule checking using predefined MOSIS rules or custom-designed sets. It also features a unique cross-sectional viewer that constructs the side view layering from the layoutthis viewer helps users visualize the link between layout drawings and the device structure. Circuit designs created on the Student Version of L-Edit can be translated to GDS II or CIF format for submission to a fabrication foundry using the Professional Version of L-Edit."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

本书介绍了模拟电路设计的基本概念, 说明了CMOS模拟集成电路设计技术的重要作用, 描述了MOS器件的物理模型及工作特性等.

High-speed, power-efficient analog integrated circuits can be used as standalone devices or to interface modern digital signal processors and micro-controllers in various applications, including multimedia, communication, instrumentation, and control systems. New architectures and low device geometry of complementary metaloxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technologies have accelerated the movement toward system on a chip design, which merges analog circuits with digital, and radio-frequency components.

This practical, tool-independent guide to designing digital circuits takes a unique, top-down approach, reflecting the nature of the design process in industry. Starting with architecture design, the book comprehensively explains the why and how of digital circuit design, using the physics designers need to know, and no more.
