Physical Design Engineer - FresherTrained

• Physical Design Planning: Collaborate with chip architects and logic designers to understand the design goals constraints and specifications. Develop a physical design plan that outlines the steps and resources needed for successful implementation.
• Floor planning: Create a floorplan that defines the placement of different functional blocks and components on the semiconductor die to optimize power performance and area (PPA).
• Placement: Place and optimize logic cells memory elements and other IP blocks on the chip according to the floorplan. Balance tradeoffs between area timing and power consumption.
• Clock Tree Synthesis (CTS): Design and implement clock distribution networks to ensure synchronized clock signals throughout the chip minimizing clock skew and jitter.
• Routing: Perform global and detailed routing to connect all the components on the chip while adhering to design rules and manufacturability constraints. Timing Closure: Use static timing analysis tools to meet timing requirements and ensure the chip operates at the desired clock frequency.
• Power Optimization: Implement lowpower design techniques such as power gating voltage scaling and clock gating to reduce power consumption while maintaining performance
• Physical Verification: Run design rule checking (DRC) and layout versus schematic (LVS) checks to ensure the layout meets manufacturing and electrical integrity standards.
• Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Collaborate with manufacturing teams to optimize the design for the fabrication process considering issues like lithography yield and process variations.
• Tapeout: Prepare the final design for fabrication by generating the required files and documentation. Coordinate with foundries for tapeout.
• PostSilicon Validation Support: Assist in postsilicon bringup and debugging if necessary to ensure the chip performs as expected.
• Documentation: Maintain detailed documentation of the design process methodologies and any issues encountered for future reference.
