Once upon a time, around about 1988, after finishing a very stressful but successful
project within Motorola Semiconductor Israel (MSIL), the entire team was
invited to a special lunch. Everybody was happy that we finished the “project”
ahead of time, and we were there to enjoy the victory of “tape-out.” Instead of
sitting in separate groups, IC circuit designers, CAD support people, and IC layout
designers sat intermixed around round tables. I had the opportunity to sit beside
Zvi Soha, who was at the time the CEO of MSIL. After enjoying a very special
meal, but before the dessert arrived, Zvi asked each of us to tell him what would
make each one of us more efficient, happier, and thus more productive.
This book includes basic methodologies, review of basic electrical rules and how they apply, design rules, IC planning, detailed checklists for design review, specific layout design flows, specialized block design, interconnect design, and also additional information on design limitations due to production requirements.
*Practical, hands-on approach to CMOS layout theory and design
*Offers engineers and technicians the training materials they need to stay current in circuit design technology.
*Covers manufacturing processes and their effect on layout and design decisions |

Developing Virtual Reality Applications: Foundations of Effective DesignThis book, Developing Virtual Reality Applications: Foundations of Effective Design, has been many years in the making. Our interest in virtual reality came about as an outgrowth of our interest in, and our day-to-day work in scientific visualization. In the early 1990s the state-of-the-art in computer graphics used for scientific visualization was... | | My Age of Anxiety: Fear, Hope, Dread, and the Search for Peace of Mind
A riveting, revelatory, and moving account of the author’s struggles with anxiety, and of the history of efforts by scientists, philosophers, and writers to understand the condition
As recently as thirty-five years ago, anxiety did not exist as a diagnostic category. Today, it is the most common form of... | | A Primer on Quantum Computing (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)
This book is about quantum computing and quantum algorithms. The book starts with a chapter introducing the basic rules of quantum mechanics and how they can be used to build quantum circuits and perform computations.
Further, Grover's algorithm is presented for unstructured search discussing its consequences and ... |
