Preface
Many IC design books emphasize on circuit design theories and there is
little coverage on custom circuit layout techniques. Hence this book is
specially written to focus on the custom circuit layout techniques. It is
an easy book for the custom layout engineer as prior knowledge on
circuit design is not necessarily required to understand the content of the
book.
This book is written for two groups of audiences – New & Experienced
custom layout designers. The new comer to custom layout would benefit
from the wider perspectives in implementing the design to a layout. The
experienced custom layout designers, on the other hand, will have a
better appreciation of the rationale behind the layout practices.
