| Course Description |
This is an introductory course in the design of integrated circuitry and the I.C. designer's role in industry. Students will study I.C. design theory and employ specialized CADD software to plan chips and create "cells." |
|
| Rationale |
This course is intended to give students workforce skills in the CAD field.
|
|
| Instructional Methodology |
- Lectures introduce new material.
- Exercises allow the instructor to lead students through the material the first time.
- Projects provide opportunities for students to practice with the new tools on their own.

| Prerequisites |
DFTG 2419, DFTG 1458, or Instructor approval. May be taken concurrently with CETT 1409. CETT 1425 recommended. |
|
| Objectives/Outcomes |
To teach the students to interpret design schematics and convert the schematics to CMOS design masks using the Cadence Virtuoso Layout editing tool. The students will learn how to minimize the design size, minimize the negative effects of unavoidable parasitic elements and effectively use the design tool to minimize the time to complete a design. |
