2024-25 Winter - EESM6970 - Guided Chip Design Project

Course

Description

The class is designed to provide students with an experience of the complete IC design process in the industry from product definition to production and measurement. Taking a product in the market as an example, students are going to re-design the chip all the way from system definition, protocol design, selecting technology, installing technology file, digital building block design, analog building block design, digital analogy integration, ESD protection, post-design simulation, and tape out process. After that, the students will perform on-wafer testing, failure analysis, package selection, PCB design, test vector generation, reliability screening, ESD testing and data-sheet writing. Students completing this class are expected to have the equivalent experience of completing a full IC design cycle in the industry. May be graded PP.
