This course reviews the major components of the modern computer-aided circuit design flow, concentrating on models and algorithms for physical design and timing analysis. An important motivation for the course is to explore the directions in which computer-aided circuit design evolves as it copes with the challenges brought about by the increased complexity of deep submicron silicon technology. The course will survey the major disruptive technological trends, and study their impact on timing analysis and physical design. It will also explore the techniques in computer-aided design for testability, reliability, and manufacturability. The course will build the links between solid-state technology, circuit design, and CAD, and will be of interest to students in all these areas.
