Lecture
This lecture introduces the basics of VLSI design and technology, covering topics such as the different scales of integration, examples of VLSI applications, preferred technologies like CMOS and Bipolar Transistor, VLSI scaling driven by Moore's law, features of VLSI scaling, VLSI design methodology, operation modes of MOSFET, T-V characteristics, and the implementation of switches in VLSI circuits. It also discusses the concepts of scaling theory, constant-field scaling, nMOS and PMOS switches, TG switches, basic logic circuits, and the rules for designing VLSI circuits.
