VLSI Engineering and Design Automation Division

The research carried out in the Division falls into several main areas: development of IC design methodologies and tools, design of digital and analogue integrated circuits for nonstandard demanding applications and application of microelectronics in signal processing.

 

Current research projects in the Division include: 

  • methodologies of integrated circuit design for manufacturability: application of statistical process and device simulation in IC design, investigations of spatial on-chip correlation of random process disturbances, analysis of layout sensitivity to spot defects;
  • development of CAD tools for integrated circuit design and verification, with special emphasis on analogue full custom ASICs design;
  • design of digital and mixed VLSI circuits for special applications, e.g.: biomedical devices, real time data processing in scientific experiments, wireless data transmission etc.;
  • modelling and control of leakage currents in nanometer CMOS digital circuits;
  • investigations of new semiconductor devices for future nanotechnologies for integrated circuits.
