Electronic Design Automation

The electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last few decades, mainly due to the rapid advances in large scale integration technologies and system design applications. With the advent of very large-scale integration (VLSI) designs, the number of applications of integrated circuits (ICs) in high-performance computing, controls, telecommunications, image and video processing, and consumer electronics has been rising at a very fast pace.

EDA Lab is established with the aim of conducting research process involved from wafer to chip, including device modelling and chip design to obtain the GDS file for fabrication and to establish links to meet industrial needs.

The Lab provides research facilities in the area of device modeling, simulation and various aspects of advanced VLSI design. It facilitates UG and PG students to carry out their project works on recent device modelling and circuit simulation.

Cadence Design System EDA tool is for designing full-custom integrated circuits includes schematic entry, behavioral modeling (Verilog-AMS), circuit simulation, custom layout, physical verification, extraction and back-annotation. Used mainly for analog, mixed-signal, RF, and standard-cell designs, memory and FPGA designs.

Synopsys TCAD tool is to develop and optimize semiconductor process technologies and devices. Includes process and device simulation tools, as well as a powerful graphical user interface (GUI) driven simulation environment for managing simulation tasks and analyzing simulation results. In addition, Synopsys TCAD provides tools for interconnect modeling and extraction, providing critical parasitic information for optimizing chip performance.
