About

 

The continuous shrinking of transistor channel lengths to less than 10 nm today has undoubtedly led integrated circuits technology revolution to enter into a new era of art and science but at the same time there is a growing need to address complicated issues like deep-submicron non-ideal effects in CMOS, precise transistor modeling, interconnect, signal integrity, low-power and low-voltage design, leakage management, impact of PVT variations on timing and robustness.

The faculty of Telecommunication & Information Engineering in UET, Taxila has taken an initiative to become part of 21st century IC design revolution by establishing Institute of Applied Technologies IC Design Centre whose sole purpose is to prepare the students with a strong technical emphasis on both the theory and practice of IC design. At the moment, the selected courses of IC design are offered where students use the following Cadence products in classes as well as academic research projects.

• Custom IC(Virtuoso integrated design environment, Cadence Physical Verification Suite, Spectre Circuit Simulator)
• Digital IC(Innovus and Genus)
