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.
