Objective: Learn the VLSI CAD tools and chip design concepts with a simple circuit. 2. Tasks: Log into a Lab-218 machines, be familiar with basic UNIX commands. Complete each steps on the CAD tool tutorial. Learn the VLSI CAD tools and chip design concepts with a simple circuit. Creating a schematic and a chip layout of an AND gate. Simulate the netlist with the Hspice tool for the function verification and signal delay measurement. Experience a complete chip design homework/project and its proper submission. 3. Circuit/Block Diagram: Figure 1. The main circuit to design and simulate, a 2 input AND gate with a changeable load capacitor CL. 4. Schematic Design and Simulation: figures and explanations here 5. Layout Design and Simulation: figures and explanations here 6. Simulation for Performance Parameters, Critical Timing, Noise Margin, and Process Variation Corners: figures and explanations here (simulation result plots without any explanations are very difficult to understand) 7. Data Sheet/User's Guide: explain how to use your chip. list each signal, show sample signal-timing diagram of proper use of your chip, figures and explanations here 8. Answers to Questions: answers, figures, and explanations here 9. Conclusion: write the summary of what was designed and its key parameters. explain what I learned. and explain how to improve the layout, speed, and power-use. And list any comments.
