ABSTRACT

In this course, you will learn details of the Library Compiler of technology library and liberty. You will learn the creation of physical library and its characterization data. Multiple detailed modules will cover library module file structure, library creation guidelines with physical library preparation as well as fusion library creation. 

OBJECTIVES

After completing this course, you will be able to:

•    At the end of this course you should be able to:

•    Library models of function, timing, low power, test

•    Understand guidelines of library creation 

•    Requirement and check for library 

•    How to prepare physical library 

•    Creation of fusion library 

AUDIENCE PROFILE

The target audience of this training model are ASIC, front-end, back-end, or layout designers who will be using Prime Time, Design Compiler NXT, Formality, IC Compiler II, and Fusion Compiler tools of Synopsys.

PREREQUISITES

While prior knowledge of Physical Design is not needed, knowledge of general (non-tool specific) standard cell-based library creation concepts and terms is helpful.

An understanding of basic digital ASIC design concepts is assumed, including:

•    Combinational and sequential logic functionality

•    Setup and hold timing

•    Low power 

•    Advance nanometer features
