Abstract
Aimed at software professional not familiar with design processes of semiconductor elements that execute their programs. This paper focuses on algorithms and software involved in a design, layout and verification of CMOS parts. The first section introduces basic building elements of a design—transistor and standard cell—and shows their representation in design database. The design flow is segmented into six distinct steps: design capture, synthesis, floorplanning, placement and routing, extraction and verification.
