VLSI design handbook

Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. The VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. This context is divided into nine chapters. The purpose of the first chapter is to give an overview of the global routing problem in VLSI design and the multicast routing problem in communication networks. The objective of the second chapter is to introduce a new VLSI technology, look at its advantages from a designer's standpoint, and pass on our experiences with a 3-D VLSI to the reader. An analog implementation of a neuron using standard VLSI components is desribed in the third chapter. Fourth chapter aims to specify the connections between cutting-pattern sequencing, VLSI design, and flexible machines. Fifth chapter presents a high-speed VLSI architecture of an MQ coder. Sixth chapter covers several interpolation methods based on applying two adaptive filters to the conventional bicubic interpolation. Equidistance routing in high-speed VLSI layout design has been proposed in seventh chapter. In eight chapter, we develop a general framework for the design and fabrication of a multi-sensor system on a chip, which includes intelligent signal processing, as well as a built-in self-test and parameter adjustment units. Last chapter gives the details of three-dimensional integrated circuits design for thousand-core processors.
