Hello,

I think this website can aid you.

https://vlsicad.ucsd.edu/

In frontpage, there are "ASPDAC-2003 Tutorial

Physical Chip Implementation: Hot Spots and Best Practices - SLIDES now available! (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)", which is very useful.


Best,

philewar

Hello,

I'm afraid that the art of analog layout is not aiming at physical design.

I think it's a big issue. Tech nodes ranges from 0.6 to 0.13 even 90nm and several tools in every point makes more combination there.

I suggest guide lines for all and when go to a specific issue, discuss it here.

Even in the Cell-based Design method ,when the tech is .25 or below,
more and more physical design issues are involved,so the physical design
is realy a big issue.

For cell based physical design, I think no related book. We could learn from EDA tools's
manual, there are so many concepts and experience in these manual. the best way it to
use tools to implement a example design.
