Work plan
The work follows the path of a real design: better tools and automation, PDKs to design with, industrial designs that test everything in silicon, and training that helps new users adopt the flow.
1
Tools
Simulation, extraction and electromagnetic analysis for analogue and RF design.
2
Design automation
Generators, layout automation and sizing in the MOSAIC framework.
3
PDKs and silicon
PDKs that support the new tool features, and MPW runs to fabricate designs.
4
Industrial validation
Partners design real IP blocks with the open flow and measure them.
5
Training
Design examples, teaching material and tutorials for new users.
