Abstract :
The nature and role of VLSI CAD systems are examined. The fabrication and operation of MOS transistors and inverters, two basic components of VLSI circuits, are described. Layout level description of circuits is discussed, and automatic layout systems are considered. The placement and routing problems are also discussed.<>
