i think that book is not very well..
you can study the exist layout that your company memeber has drawn. when meet questions in understanding,you can ask them for help..
this is a quick way to master the layout design..
"The art of analog layout" is a good book because it has the steps you need described in detail. I recommend this book. Of course, some chapters may be described better in other books, but as a First book, it's OK.
Best regards
OK guys and girls!
Of cource ALAN HASTINGS is the bible but I believe is not for a begginer !
I Suggestr IC MASK DESIGN by Saint& Saint McGraw Hill. If you are a total stranger with physics of Semiconductors, then I suggest IC layout Basics by Sain&Saint and at the same time, Analog-Digital VLSI devices and Technology of Tsividis.
Then you can advance to Alan Hastings!
