| Summary: | Physical Design Essentials explains the basic steps required in the physical design of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The subject matter presentation follows the industry-common ASIC physical design flow. Topics covered include: Basic standard cell design, transistor-sizing, and layout styles Linear, non-linear, and polynomial characterization Physical design constraints and floor planning styles Algorithms used for placement Clock tree synthesis Algorithms used for global and detailed routing Parasitic extraction Functional timing and physical methods of verification Testing Techniques Physical Design Essentials is written for professional design engineers who need to be conversant with all aspects of ASIC design implementation: device processes, library development, place-and-route algorithms, verification, and testing
