A simplified description of Complete process of IC Design and Manufacturing.

Links to useful systemverilog free tutorials and courses are below at the end of description.
When anybody start learning a hardware description language such as Systemverilog or VHDL, the most common problem they could face is, in ‘connecting’ what they write in their program to the actual ‘circuit’ that get produced in the Silicon. This is a course designed to simplify this problem by connecting together the pieces of information scattered throughout RTL design, functional verification, synthesis, physical design and manufacturing in VLSI technology.
This is not teaching any specific hardware description language, or anything related to coding in an HDL.

I did "physical design" for many years. In one case, my LVS simply would not match. I examined the engineers RTL and found the reason. After I and the EDA engineer explained the error to the design engineer, the designer fixed his RTL, recreated his schematic, and my layout matched him perfectly. That was the sort of complex subtlety that an extraordinarily good layout designer brings to a design team.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Yes, you are right 👍

[@ravikarnad6838]

Excellent course, trained in a simple understandable language with illustrations. A must for all Electrical and Electronics Engineers. Well done!

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thank you for the feedback 👍

[@satadrudas3675]

This was a brilliant video to give a perfect overview to a newbie.

[@hariprasanth6308]

Thank you so much for this overview. Now I have more clarity when someone speaks of the Front end, RTL design, and back end physical design.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@ngochuy7683]

wow... this is what I need. Incredible explanation.

[@karimedx]

a really good introduction to IC production workflow, tools and practices .... thank for sharing

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback !

Amazing video and brilliant explanation. Provides a full picture of the IC manufacturing process.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@RaghunathIyer]

I found this video provided the right level of information to educate engineers in other domains, what goes into VLSI design front/back-end.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thank you for the feedback 👍

[@shankarnathmajumder]

Simply just Remarkable, lot of Thanks...! 🙂
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thank you too! 🙂

[@lygiahuy8944]

very detailed even though I'm too young to deal with this so I'm not really understanding all it. it's like a sky of knowledge

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

👍

[@sheilasong6728]

Very good summarize and very helpful to get basic understand of silicon design phases.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thank you for the feedback 🙂

[@KAMEHAME]

Excellent video, helps me understand my significant others job :)

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Great to hear! 🙂

[@SureshBabu-lk7cm]

Sir now I want to learn design circuits and chips . But you're video clear indepth explanation " simple and systematic way" .
Clear all my "doubts and fear" of the course.
Video voice nice . Thanks a lot

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thanks for the feedback Suresh 🙂

[@sijomathew8720]

Why not start with verilog and then move to System verilog ?
This is one of the best explanations i have seen.

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thanks for the great feedback !

[@charitarthchugh3988]

Really well done!

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Thank you 🙂

Looks professional for such a computer engineering high undergraduate course. I was just curious about VLSI design. Also, I am a computer science undergraduate student but then today I realize I'm a gonna switch to computer engineering student. I sub you. Very good computer science/ computer engineering/ electrical engineering channel.

9:10 디지털회로 > FF> Logic gates(and,or,nand,,,) > 트랜지스터
즉 디지털회로는 수십수백억의 T로 이뤄지기 때문에, T레벨에서 설계하면 설계 속도가 너무 느림
T레벨의 정보를 감추기위해 더 상위레벨인 Register 레벨에서 설계하는 RTL 을 HDL을 이용해서 수행함

[@mounikagowda1278]

Thanks for the feedback 🙂

[@ralphlouis2705]

After hard time puzzlin I noticed logic gates are similar to abc .. when combined using mathematical conditions then you can get unbelievable ics units

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Yes, that's the beauty of a Hardware Description Language :)

[@naveenayadav1910]

[@chrisjohnn3450]

what's the best explanation why IC (Integrated Circuit) is in Square/rectangular shape, not circle?? Why they manufacture it on that shape?

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Sorry, I have no idea, don't even know if there are any circular ICs. Will try to get the find the right answer here 🙂

[@SamuelMcTwain]

The wafer is round because of the spinning needed to form it. The IC on the wafer is square because it is the easiest shape to cut using current methods. See: ua-cam.com/video/Rhs_NjaFxeo/v-deo.html

Hii
How is specification step documented?

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

The specification are documented like any other 'document' 🙂. It could be as simple as a written word or mostly some form of a webpage, which can be processed by scripts to exact data that need to be used in verification.

[@rutwijmulye6381]

How can I start with VLSI backend?

[@SystemverilogAcademy]

Sorry, we don't have good pointers for backend learning.
