Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology

The second of two volumes in the Electronic Design Automation for Integrated Circuits Handbook, Second Edition, Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology thoroughly examines real-time logic (RTL) to GDSII (a file format used to transfer data of semiconductor physical layout) design flow, analog/mixed signal design, physical verification, and technology computer-aided design (TCAD). Chapters contributed by leading experts authoritatively discuss design for manufacturability (DFM) at the nanoscale, power supply network design and analysis, design modeling, and much more. New to This Edition: Major updates appearing in the initial phases of the design flow, where the level of abstraction keeps rising to support more functionality with lower non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs Significant revisions reflected in the final phases of the design flow, where the complexity due to smaller and smaller geometries is compounded by the slow progress of shorter wavelength lithography New coverage of cutting-edge applications and approaches realized in the decade since publication of the previous edition—these are illustrated by new chapters on 3D circuit integration and clock design Offering improved depth and modernity, Electronic Design Automation for IC Implementation, Circuit Design, and Process Technology provides a valuable, state-of-the-art reference for electronic design automation (EDA) students, researchers, and professionals.

Luciano Lavagno received his PhD in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, USA (UC Berkeley), in 1992, and from Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1993. He is a coauthor of two books on asynchronous circuit design, a book on hardware/software codesign of embedded systems, more than 200 scientific papers, and 12 US patents. Between 1993 and 2000, he was the architect of the POLIS project, a cooperation between UC Berkeley, Cadence Design Systems, Magneti Marelli, and Politecnico di Torino, which developed a complete hardware/software codesign environment for control-dominated embedded systems. Between 2003 and 2014, he was one of the creators and architects of the Cadence C-to-Silicon high-level synthesis system. Since 2011, he has been a full professor with Politecnico di Torino. He has been serving on the technical committees of several international conferences, workshops, and symposia. He has been the technical program chair of the Design Automation Conference, and the technical program committee and general chair of the International Conference on Hardware/Software Codesign and System Synthesis. He has been an associate editor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Circuits and Systems and Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) Transactions on Embedded Computing. He is a senior member of the IEEE. His research interests include the synthesis of asynchronous low-power circuits, the concurrent design of mixed hardware and software embedded systems, the high-level synthesis of digital circuits, the design and optimization of hardware components and protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and design tools for WSNs. Igor L. Markov is currently on leave from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA, where he taught for many years. He joined Google in 2014 and occasionally teaches very-large-scale integration design at Stanford University, California, USA. He researches computers that make computers, including algorithms and optimization techniques for electronic design automation, secure hardware, and emerging technologies. He is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) fellow and an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) distinguished scientist. He has coauthored five books, and has four U.S. patents and more than 200 refereed publications, some of which were honored by best-paper awards. Professor Markov is a recipient of the Design Automation Conference Fellowship, ACM Special Interest Group on Design Automation Outstanding New Faculty Award, National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development Program Award, IBM Partnership Award, Microsoft A. Richard Newton Breakthrough Research Award, and IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation Early Career Award. During the 2011 redesign of the ACM Computing Classification System, Professor Markov led the effort on the hardware tree. Twelve doctoral dissertations were defended under his supervision; three of which received outstanding dissertation awards. Grant E. Martin is a distinguished engineer at Cadence Design Systems, Inc., San Jose, California, USA. Before that, Grant worked for Burroughs in Scotland for 6 years; Nortel/Bell-Northern Research in Canada for 10 years; Cadence Design Systems for 9 years, eventually becoming a fellow in their labs; and Tensilica for 9 years. He rejoined Cadence in 2013 when it acquired Tensilica, and has been there since, working in the Tensilica part of the Cadence Intellectual Property Group.
