VLSI DESIGN SIMPLE AND LUCID EXPLANATION

This book explains Very Large Sytem Integration (VLSI) in a simple and lucid style.
The book is very beneficial for engineering students.

It is divided into 5 modules:

Module 1
Process steps in IC fabrication: Silicon wafer prep
aration-Diffusion of impurities-
physical mechanism-ion implantation- Annealing proc
ess- Oxidation process-
lithography-Chemical Vapour Deposition -epitaxial g
rowth –reactors-
metallization-patterning-wire bonding -packaging


Module 2
Monolithic components: Isolation of components-junc
tion isolation and dielectric
isolation. Monolithic diodes- schottky diodes and t
ransistors-buried layer-FET
structures- JFET-MOSFET-PMOS and NMOS. Control of t
hreshold voltage-
silicon gate technology- monolithic resistors-resis
tor design-monolithic capacitors-
design of capacitors- IC crossovers and vias.


Module 3
CMOS technology: CMOS structure-latch up in CMOS, C
MOS circuits-
combinational logic circuit-invertor- NAND-NOR-comp
lex logic circuits, full
adder circuit. CMOS transmission gate(TG)T-realizat
ion of Boolean functions
using TG. Complementary Pass Transistor Logic (CPL)
-CPL circuits: NAND,
NOR-4 bit shifter. Basic principle of stick diagram
s.


Module 4
CMOS sequential logic circuits: SR flip flop, JK fl
ip flop, D latch circuits.
BiCMOS technology-structure-BiCMOS circuits: invert
er, NAND, NOR-CMOS
logic systems-scaling of MOS structures-scaling fac
tors-effects of miniaturization.


Module 5
