Design complex layouts for analog and mixed-signal circuits in deep sub-micron CMOS technologies. Layouts may include analog blocks, resistors, capacitors, pad IOs, ESD structures, etc.
Doing proficient floor-planning and hierarchical layouts for complex circuits
Performing different verification techniques, including: LVS, DRC, and RV.
Dealing with reliability issues such as electro-migration and self-heating.
Running complete sets of design verification tools.
Interpreting verification reports.
Using advanced CAD tools (such as Virtuoso from Cadence) to deliver robust layouts and meet strict matching performance, area, and power requirements.
Create bottom-up elements of chip design including but not limited to: CMOS cell, block level custom layouts, FUB-level floor plans, abstract view generation. Our work also includes schematic to layout verification and debug using phases of physical design development including parasitic extraction, static timing, wire load models, layout vs schematic (LVS), design rule check (DRC), and reliability verification (RV).
