TFFY90	VLSI Design, ECTS-points /VLSI-KONSTRUKTION/ Advancement level: C
	Aim: The course will give practical design knowledge of VLSI circuits. Course organization: The course will focus on the design of an integrated circuit (a complete chip) in CMOS technology. A series of lectures will introduce students to MOS-transistor theory, CMOS circuit techniques, VLSI-design methodology and CAD tools available at LiTH. A series of laboratory exercises will introduce the CAD tools practically. Design projects will be run in teams of 2-3 students and each team can select one project from a project catalogue. It is possible for the students to run their own projects as long as the projects are appropriate. The students in each team must finish their chip design, deliver a written report and give an oral presentation before the end of period 4. The chip designs will be fabricated and the students can evaluate their own chips experimentally in period 1, year 5, if they attend course TFFY 94 Evaluation of an Integrated Circuit.

UPG1	The grades are Pass/Fail. To pass the course, the chip design, the report and the oral presentation have to be satisfactory.

Course language is Swedish.
