- OBJECTIVES
-
- The objective of this course is to provide the student with an
- understanding of the capabilities and limitations of VLSI CMOS
- integrated circuits. The course will cover the basic technology of
- CMOS VLSI and techniques for designing chips with this technology.
- Topics will include: MOS transistor theory, VLSI processing, layout
- design rules, layout analysis and performance estimation, the use of
- computer-aided-design (CAD) tools for layout design, system design,
- and Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Students will
- create, analyze and simulate a number of small circuit layouts as
- homeworks, culminating with a term design project as described below.
-
- The course will be taught at the Daniel F. and Ada Rice Campus, which
- is located in the western suburbs of Chicago near the intersection of
- Butterfield Rd. and Naperville-Wheaton Rd. It will also be broadcast
- to all IIT/V remote sites, including the IIT Downtown Campus, AT&T,
- Motorola, Northrop, and several other locations througout the suburbs.
-
- PROJECT
-
- To gain design experience, students will design a small chip and
- simulate the design for correctness. Since chip design requires the
- use of CAD tools, access to tools will be provided on workstations at
- the IIT Rice Campus in Wheaton and the main campus downtown. Students
- with access to UNIX workstations (e.g. SUN, DEC) at their work sites
- can obtain tools for installation at their site. Contact the
- instructor for more details.
-
- PREREQUISITES
-
- Graduate standing and a thorough understanding of basic logic design
- (EE 228 or equiv.). Advanced undergraduate students may register for
- this course with permission of instructor.
