Design of ICs with CADENCE

 Problems related to the design and investigation of submicron and nanoscale MOS integrated circuits are covered by this course. Currently there are some nanotechnologies in the means of 14 nm design kits, which are available via the EUROPRACTICE organization. The main attention is drawn to the theoretical and practical usage of state-of-the-art industrial CAD systems, e.g. CADENCE, SYNOPSYS and others. The designers who use those systems can implement nanoscale elements from the relevant standard cell libraries. The specific parameters, related to the nanoscale effects are represented in the embedded system models of the elements.
