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 stylesLinear, non-linear, and polynomial characterizationPhysical design constraints and floor planning stylesAlgorithms used for placementClock tree synthesisAlgorithms used for global and detailed routingParasitic extractionFunctional timing and physical methods of verificationTesting TechniquesPhysical 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.

The Art of Timing Closure is written using a hands-on approach to describe advanced concepts and techniques using Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) for an advanced ASIC design implementation. It focuses on the physical design, Static Timing Analysis (STA), formal and physical verification. The scripts in this book are based on Cadence® Encounter System™. However, if the reader uses a different EDA tool, that tool’s commands are similar to those shown in this book.The topics covered are as follows:Data StructuresMulti-Mode Multi-Corner AnalysisDesign ConstraintsFloorplan and Timing Placement and TimingClock Tree SynthesisFinal Route and TimingDesign SignoffRather than go into great technical depth, the author emphasizes short, clear descriptions which are implemented by references to authoritative manuscripts. It is the goal of this book to capture the essenceof physical design and timing analysis at each stage of the physical design, and to show the reader that physical design and timing analysis engineering should be viewed as a single area of expertise.This book is intended for anyone who is involved in ASIC design implementation -- starting from physical design to final design signoff. Target audiences for this book are practicing ASIC design implementation engineers and students undertaking advanced courses in ASIC design.
