Course Description

Physical design refers to the process of translating a high-level circuit description into a configuration that defines how an integrated circuit (IC) body used on a silicon wafer will operate. This phase includes activities such as placement, training, and optimization to ensure that the design meets all performance, power, and area requirements.

What You’ll Learn?
  • Floor Planning: Plan the important functions of the mold to optimize space and functionality.
  • Placement: Specify the location of modules or blocks on the floor plan.
  • Routing: Connecting components to the metal layer to create the desired circuit.
  • Optimization: Adjust the design to improve time, power, and area (PPA) metrics.

Physical design is a critical step in creating an efficient, robust, and reliable interface. Understanding physical design concepts, best practices, and tools can impact the success of your IC project. By keeping up with the latest trends and innovations, you can improve your design skills and meet the challenges of modern semiconductor manufacturing.We hope this guide will help you understand bodybuilding better. Subscribe to our blog and stay tuned for more tips and updates on IC design!
