CAREERS IN VLSI PHYSICAL DESIGN/ PHYSICAL verification

Job Description (Physical Design – PD/ Verification – PV)

Job Description – Physical Design

Physical design is a process of converting logical connectivity of cells (netlist) into physical connectivity (manufactural layout) meeting power, performance and area requirements. All design components are instantiated with their geometric shapes and have appropriate routing connections in metal layers.

  • Validating inputs, Die size estimation, IO placement planning, Floor planning, power planning, placement, CTS, Routing, ECOs, timing sign-off
  • Work on implementing the SOC design into manufactural format (GDS) in various silicon technologies
  • Understand the Clocking and data flow of blocks and SOC to come up with an optimized floor plan for the design
  • Intelligently solve the critical congestion and performance issues in the design by working with logic design engineers
  • Perform timing analysis and electrical analysis on the design to ensure the design meets performance and power targets of the end product
  • Ability to automate the design process utilizing industry-standard EDA tools to improve efficiency, and analyze results
  • Exhibit strong analytical and excellent communication skills, conceptual understanding, and attention to detail

Job Description – Physical Verification

Physical verification is a process of verification of correct electrical and logical functionality, manufacturability, and yield in IC layout using EDA tools.

  • Perform various types of physical verification checks (such as LVS, DRC & Antenna, ERC, design-for-manufacturing & design-for-yield, and Pattern matching) at the chip and block level
  • Collaborate with the CAD/Technology teams for flow bring up and validation.
  • Work directly with the implementation team during the entire chip design cycle to drive signoff closure for tape-out
  • Automate the design process utilizing industry-standard EDA tools to improve efficiency and analyze results
  • Exhibit strong analytical and excellent communication skills, conceptual understanding, and attention to detail

Minimum Qualification

  • Eligibility: B.E./B.Tech/ M.Sc. in Electronics/ Electrical/ Instrumentation
  • Percentage: 65%
