A circuit idea is only as real as its layout. Between acircuit description and a verified, characterized building block lie placement,routing, design-rule and layout-versus-schematic checks, parasitic extractionand characterization, steps that are still largely manual for anything new andthat differ from one transistor architecture to the next. This is where mostpromising ideas stall, and where the models that proposed them meet their firstreal test.
The student will work on automating the physical realizationof digital building blocks on open process design kits with open layout,verification and simulation tools: layout generation driven by the circuit'sstructure, the verification and extraction chain, characterization toindustry-standard formats, and a systematic comparison of the realized resultwith the models that predicted it, so that the models can be corrected wherethey miss.
Type of internship: Master internship
