這門課程旨在讓學生掌握積體電路設計的理論與實踐。學生將深入了解積體電路設計的基本原理、設計流程及相關工具的應用例如HSPICE以及Cadence公司的Virtuoso電路設計以及積體電路光罩佈局軟體。透過理論講解、實例分析和實作練習，學生將學會設計各種類型的積體電路，並具備解決設計問題的能力。同時，課程將介紹積體電路設計中的最新趨勢與技術，使學生能夠跟上行業的發展動態，具備在實際工作中應對挑戰的能力。

This course is designed to provide students with a mastery of the theory and practice of integrated circuit design. Students will have an in-depth understanding of the basic principles of integrated circuit design, the design process and the application of related tools such as HSPICE and Cadence's Virtuoso circuit design and integrated circuit mask layout software. Through theoretical explanations, case analysis and practical exercises, students will learn to design various types of integrated circuits and have the ability to solve design problems. At the same time, the course will introduce the latest trends and technologies in integrated circuit design, so that students can keep up with the development trends of the industry and have the ability to cope with challenges in practical work.

課程將介紹layout(佈局)和先進製程的密切關係，從佈局設計流程之基本觀念及 EDA 軟體的使用到更深入探討 layout 的架構設計和先進製程中layout遇到的瓶頸和困難；課程內將教授並探討不同實務架構的layout問題和解決方法，其中包含標準電路元件(Standard cell)、記憶(Memory) 、類比暨混合信號 (Analog and mixed signal)，最後透過本課程的期末報告練習，可了解實務界中layout design的挑戰和對未來先進製程的重要性並提升學生往後在業界的競爭力。

The course will introduce the close relationship between layout and advanced processes, from the basic concepts of the layout design process and the use of EDA software to a more in-depth discussion of the architectural design of layout and the bottlenecks and difficulties encountered by layout in advanced processes. The course will teach and discuss layout problems and solutions in different practical architectures, including standard circuit elements (Standard cell), memory (Memory), analog and mixed signal (Analog and mixed signal) signal). Finally, through the final report exercise of this course, students can understand the challenges of layout design in the practical world and the importance of future advanced manufacturing processes, and enhance students' future competitiveness in the industry.
