What is IC design flow?

  The main process of front-end design   1.  D etermine the specifications   Chip specifications, also like a list of features, is the customer to the chip design company (called Fabless, waferless design company) proposed design requirements, including the chip needs to achieve specific functional and performance requirements.   2. Define the architecture   Fabless comes up with a specific implementation architecture and the functions of each module based on the specifications proposed by the customer.   3.  HDL coding   Use hardware description language (VHDL, Verilog HDL, industry companies generally use the latter) to describe the module function in code to achieve, that is, the actual hardware circuit function is described by HDL language to form RTL (register transfer level) code.   4.  Simulation verification   Simulation verification is to check the correctness of the coding design, and the criteria for the verification is the specification developed in the first step.

What is the process of designing a chip?

  Chip   Chip, also known as microcircuit, microchip, or integrated circuit (English: integrated circuit, IC). It is a silicon chip containing an integrated circuit, which is very small and often part of a computer or other electronic device.   Chip, English for Chip; chipset for Chipset. chip generally refers to the carrier of the integrated circuit, but also the integrated circuit after design, manufacturing, packaging, testing, usually an independent whole that can be used immediately. The two words "chip" and "integrated circuit" are often used together, for example, in the usual discussion topics, integrated circuit design and chip design is said to mean one thing, chip industry, integrated circuit industry, IC industry, IC industry is often a meaning. In fact, these two terms have a connection and a difference. Integrated circuit entities often have to exist in the form of chips, because the narrow sense of integrated circuit, is to emphasize the circuit itsel
