Moore’s Law
In
1965, Gordon Moore noted that the
number of transistors on a chip doubled
every 18 to 24 months.
He
made a prediction that semiconductor
technology will double its effectiveness
every 18 months

Scaling….





Technology shrinks by 0.7/generation
With every generation can integrate 2x more functions
per chip; chip cost does not increase significantly
Cost of a function decreases by 2x
But …
 How to design chips with more and more functions?
 Design engineering population does not double every
two years…
Hence, a need for more efficient design methods
 Exploit different levels of abstraction

Design Metrics

How to evaluate performance of a digital
circuit (gate, block, …)?

Why VLSI?

Integration improves the design



Lower parasitics = higher speed
Lower power consumption
Physically smaller
Integration reduces manufacturing cost (almost) no manual assembly
