Because CMOS technologies are widely used in modern electronics, we need advanced knowledge of scaled CMOS devices. Moreover, recently the demand for mixed-signal LSIs, including analog and RF (Radio Frequency) circuits, is very rapidly increasing, especially for consumer electronics and communication equipments. This course covers theoretical and practical aspects of CMOS devices and modeling. First, fundamentals of semiconductor devices, which are undergraduate level, will be reviewed and distributed-constant circuit models will be also provided. Then, in-depth modeling of MOS transistors will be introduced using the textbook (Chapters 2 to 5). This helps you design VLSIs using the deep sub-micron CMOS in the near future. Finally, design examples of mixed-signal LSIs will be overviewed. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
At the end of the course the student should be able to: ・Explain the basic concepts of the semiconductor devices. ・Design CMOS VLSI chips. ・Understand MOS transistor models used for design of mixed-signal LSIs ・Forecast the future direction of VLSI technologies. |

Due to the progress of the LSI technology, developing electronics and advancing performance are achieved. Although the speed of a transistor is improved by the progress of the process technology of LSI, it increases the routing delay. Since the routing delay is determined by the layout process, it is important to understand the knowledge about layout design. In this class, students learn the knowledge of the LSI design in progressing process technology. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |

| 授業の概要 ／Course outline |
Because of advanced deep sub-micron technology in VLSIs, many functions can be implemented on a chip (integrated circuit). Such a chip integrates more than ten millions or hundred millions of transistors. To implement such a chip, it is impossible to design in manual. Recently, most of VLSIs is designed using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. For example, once designer specifies the model of an application using a hardware description language (HDL) with a set of design constraints which consider design requirements, EDA tools automatically synthesize a design from the model which satisfies design requirements. Therefore, it is indispensable for designers to understand the knowledge of EDA tools. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
This course focuses on design automation techniques used in lower level of designs. Lower level in this course means the design from the structural model of a circuit using an HDL to the layout design before the chip fabrication. In addition, this course provides an exercise using EDA tools. Students design layout of a circuit from a structural model of an application specified by Verilog HDL. |
| 授業スケジュール ／Class schedule |
1. Introduction 2. Explanation for exercise 3. Verilog HDL 4. Overview of logic synthesis 5. Optimization for logic functions 6. Optimization for sequential circuits 7. BDD and logic verification 8, Power optimization and design for testability 9. Exercise 10. Layout synthesis 1 11. Layout synthesis 2 12. Layout synthesis 3 13. Exercise 14. Presentation 15. Presentation In the exercise, students create an application such as a signal processing algorithm using Verilog HDL. Then, students synthesize a logic design and a layout design for the Verilog HDL model using Cadence RTL Compiler and Encounter Digital Implemenattion. In addition, students verify the timing requirements and the functionalities for the synthesized layout design using EDI Timing System and Incisive. Finally, students evaluate performance and area of the designed circuit with the consideration for design optimization. Taking with Electronic Design Automation for System-level Design, students can study a standard design flow used in the industry from the functional model of an application by SystemC to the layout design before the chip fabrication. |

Reconfigurable Computing (RC) is some mechanisms with highly flexible computing fabrics such as PLDs/FPGAs (Programmable Logic Devices/Field Programmable Gate Arrays), in order to realize low-cost and high-performance custom solvers suitable for given problems. The principal difference compared to using ordinary microprocessors is the ability to make substantial changes to the datapath itself in addition to the control flow. From this point of view, RC is often called "Field-Programmable Custom Computing Machines (FCCMs)." To realize RC, we have to provide a software or CAD (Computer Aided Design) environment as well as hardware equipment utilizing FPGAs. In this course, the students will learn an overview of the RC concept first, and then hardware and software technologies needed to realize RC. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |

Because of advanced deep sub-micron technology in VLSIs, many functions can be implemented on a chip (integrated circuit). Such a chip integrates more than ten millions or hundred millions of transistors. To implement such a chip, it is impossible to design in manual. Recently, most of VLSIs is designed using electronic design automation (EDA) tools. For example, once designer specifies the model of an application using a hardware description language (HDL) with a set of design constraints which consider design requirements, EDA tools automatically synthesize a design from the model which satisfies design requirements. Therefore, it is indispensable for designers to understand the knowledge of EDA tools. |
| 授業の目的と到達目標 ／Objectives and attainment goals |
This course focuses on design automation techniques used in the upper-level of designs. The upper-level in this course includes modeling of an application using SystemC which is C++ with a class for hardware, and synthesis and verification from the SystemC model to the structural model of a circuit. |

Presentation 15. Presentation In the exercise, students model an application such as a signal processing algorithm using SystemC. Then, students synthesize the structural model of the appliaction using C-to-Silicon Compiler and verify the model using Incisive Simulator. Finally, students evaluate performance and area of the designed circuit with the consideration for design optimization. Taking with Electronic Design Automation for Digital VLSI Implementation, students can study a standard design flow used in the industry from the functional model of an application by SystemC to the layout design before the chip fabrication. |
