TITLE: Free Open Source PDK and SoC Design Tutorials for SCMOS
An open source, variation-aware process design kit (PDK) can now
be downloaded for free. The PDK is based on scalable CMOS
(SCMOS) design rules, down to 45-nm, and can be used by
universities and small businesses. The kit includes all of the
necessary layout design rules and extraction command decks to
capture layout-dependent systematic variation and to perform
statistical circuit analysis. The kit also includes a standard-
cell and pad library with the necessary support files to enable
full chip place and route and verification for system-on-chip
(SoC) designs.
Prof. James Stine of Oklahoma State University and Professors
Rhett Davis and Paul Franzon of North Carolina State University
presented a paper describing the PDK at: MSE-2007.
The PDK, libraries and tutorials describing the complete design
flow using Synopsys tools is available at: OSU_VLSI_WIKI
