VLSI in the News: This week in EE Times

CMOS Process and Layout

• CMOS Process and Layout
• Here is a link for the MOSIS service that provides fabrication services for universities like us. You can find out about design rules, tools and fabrication issues. Here is a link for the NTRS roadmap handout
• Processing Steps: Chapter 2 from textbook. (pp35-65)
• Layout styles: Color Plates from textbook
• Design Rules: Rabaey's design rules (covered in color plates in book)
• MOSIS scalable design rules

Coming up in next lecture

• Semiconductor Devices: A review for CMOS VLSI (be prepared by reading pp.73-130 before the lecture)
