Course Description
The placement and routing solution in the Virtuoso® Studio makes it easy to create accurate analog and custom digital Device-Level layouts on advanced-process nodes. It includes intelligent device grouping, precise controls for device array placement, row-based and non-uniform grid-based device snapping, and advanced cell fill to automatically create symmetrical analog device placement. It also features automated routing on width spacing-based track patterns with support for mesh routing structures, which simplifies complex wiring for a large number of series/parallel devices in FinFET process technology.The Virtuoso Automated Device Placement and Routing flow automatically generates layouts that comply with constraints, are LVS correct, and adhere to DRCs. It is designed for analog and mixed signal device-level designs using advanced node PDKs. The flow uses the Auto P&R assistant for device placement and the Routing assistant for device routing.
This course is designed to equip designers with the necessary skills for Device-Level Placement, Initialize and Plan a Layout, Device Placement Using the Auto Place and Route Assistant, and Automated Device-Level Routing for the Virtuoso Studio.
