IC Design and Silicon Design Chain Abstract: The demand and their rapid development of computers, electronic communication, and variety consumer multimedia products have led to the IC design sizes from a few tens of transistors to one hundred million gates. The IC design itself has become more complex, the classification of design methods is becoming clearer. Due to the advancement of process technology and design methodology in the past half centuries, the infrastructur e of IC industry has become mature. For successful design of an ASIC/SoC chip, it may rely on the close collaboration between the foundry, the library vendor, the IP provider and the EDA support. This short article introduces such collaboration model, namely, the silicon design chain and its evolvingfeatur es. 1 IC ICLSI VLSI ASIC SoC IC sub-micron 1 um(deep sub-micron, DSM)65 nm 20 0.25um 21 IC CPU ASIC/SoC 2004 9 28 CPU ASIC COT(custom owned tooling) PC CGA/EGA/VGA/SVGA ASIC ASIC 80 90 ASIC structured ASIC ASIC ASIC IC ASIC ASIC SoC standard cellFPGA LUTLSI Logic Synplicity
