September Dates for VSD-IAT workshop are almost finalized and will be there on website soon
Tentatively It will be in below order
Week 1 (5-day) - Circuit design and SPICE simulations using sky130
Week 2 (5-day) - RTL design and synthesis using sky130
Week 3 (5-day) - Advanced physical design using OpenLANE/Sky130
Week 4 (5-day) - Physical verification (DRC/LVS) using Sky130

07/30/2021, 6:56 PMthanks. What is available in August? 5 day is how many hours a day? All day?
selamu said
07/30/2021, 6:57 PMAre the courses sequential? Are they meant to be taken in some order? Whats the quickest way to learn OpenLANE/ROAD thru the workshops?
selamu said
07/30/2021, 6:58 PMI am interested in the PDK but first, interested in learning to perform RTL to GDS using OpenROAD. Suggestions?
selamu said
07/30/2021, 6:59 PMI did not learn much from the documents available on the subject. I am hoping a hands-on course will accelerate my learning.

07/30/2021, 6:59 PMThe below workshop is in August. But if you haven't done OpenLANE yet, I will not recommend this one now
The below is detailed study/labs about sky130pdk

07/30/2021, 7:01 PMSequential is better if you are looking for a career in VLSI and semiconductors. Else you can go directly for week3
Grant Brown gitlab link is from week3 VSDIAT workshop which is mandatory for VSD certificates.

07/30/2021, 7:01 PMThe workshop is on cloud for 5-days. You can login at your convenient time, finish lectures/labs for that day and logout
