Undergraduate VLSI Design Sequence

一个四学期的本科课程序列，重点是超大规模集成电路设计技术，正在开发与实验室练习，以补充每门课程。标准细胞技术得到了主要的强调，其他技术也被强调。集成电路制造（使用MOSIS）的原型集成电路正在计划纳入实验室课程。可测试性在序列的早期阶段引入，并自始至终强调。获得的设备包括使用Mentor-Graphics软件的五(5)台Apollo工作站，以及使用ORCAD的八(8)台基于80386的pc。目标是让学生在序列中体验通过分析，模拟，设计，制造和测试一路采取IC设计概念。

A four-term undergraduate course sequence, with a focus on VLSI design techniques, is being developed with laboratory exercises to complement each course. Standard cell techniques receive the major emphasis with other techniques also being stressed. IC fabrication (using MOSIS) of prototype ICs is being planned for incorporation in the laboratory coursework. Testability is introduced at an early stage of the sequence, and emphasized through-out. Equipment obtained includes five (5) Apollo workstations, using Mentor-Graphics software, plus eight (8) 80386-based PCs using ORCAD. The goal is for the students in the sequence to experience taking an IC design concept all the way through analysis, simulation, design, fabrication and testing.
