Most textbooks on VLSI cover circuit design techniques or algorithms for CAD tools but none of them are explaining extensively IC Layout challenges. For today's industry, with so many new tools, platforms, methodologies, and design styles being developed all the time, a more unified format is needed. Now here it is, and is for more readers that you may think:
Students studying VLSI Design need a comprehensive textbook for IC Layout so their projects can be actually manufactured... Students studying Computer Engineering or Science and tools for VLSI need a book to help them understand the physical limitations from processing and design... IC layout designers around the world need a detailed training curriculum that covers more than just one type of layout... Design engineers need a book that can help them to understand the layout concepts so their designs can be more realistic and easier to implement... Software developers need a source of information beyond "clean room" specifications, they need a users voice with the specific industry language... Technical marketing and sales people need a dictionary to understand the language and the concepts required by their customers when they sale software and their own design teams when they sell a product...
But a book about layout is not complete if there are no color graphics. The problem is that colored pages inside a black and white book is very expensive and would have raised the price of our book. We wanted to make this book as affordable as possible so together with the publishers we decided to offer you a solution, a CD-ROM with additional color pictures. So, you will find in the CD-ROM attached all the color files that we prepared for your edification. But this is not all; we included a full demo version of L-Edit, from Tanner Research Inc. The demo content includes the entire Tanner tools demo so is useful for a new designer or student to try each of them. From our point of view is a tremendous opportunity for a reader to try as he/she learns about each topic. The demo provides access to "danclein" library so once you learned how to open the library all our secrets will be in your hands.
In the near future, we will try to build a web site that can be used as questions and answer place.
Please send us Email at cometic@ieee.org for any enquiry.
We hope that you will enjoy reading our book at list as much as we enjoyed writing it!
