I have just be hired by a chip company and do the physical design of the chip.
can you give me some suggestion about how to become a better physical design engineer? And is it necessary for me to transfer to front end design domain , such as verification engineer , after I commit the physical design in some years. Because I think physical design is lack of technical skill and full of manual work.

thank you for replying
 

Unfortunatelly a lot of persons (and companies) have the wrong idea about what is needed from a physical design adn they think it's not needed to have a good tech skill there and, if you re-think that for a second, it's totally the opposite... you're the one defining how is EVERYTHING going to be made on the chip... The BEST logic design could be TOTALLY wasted if you do something wrong...

I do not know the area you'll be working but, if it's on Analog (or Mixed signal) you MUST read Alan Hasting's book: The Art of Analog Layout, as a first and good reference. You'll see also some other good books but with this one you'll have a more than OK starting point...
