AN INTRODUCTION TO VLSI DESIGN AND TESTING: Crafting Tomorrow's Technology through VLSI

"VLSI Design and Testing" provides a concise yet comprehensive guide to the design, analysis, and testing of integrated circuits. Covering key topics such as IC types, Moore’s Law, MOSFET and CMOS fabrication, and SOI technology, the book builds a strong foundation in VLSI principles. It explores the design flow, CMOS logic gates, layout techniques, and both static and dynamic logic circuits. Readers will also learn about circuit performance parameters, scaling theory, and subsystem design including adders, shifters, and comparators. The book concludes with essential concepts in VLSI design styles (FPGA, gate array, full-custom) and CMOS testing, including fault models, ATPG, and BIST. Ideal for students and professionals, it blends theory with practical design strategies in modern VLSI systems. Read more
