RTL synthesis, Physical design and Verification of an ASIC chip
It will be a half day workshop consisting of two segments. In the starting segment Prof. Dr. A.B.M. Harun-ur Rashid will give an opening speech on importance and future prospect of VLSI ASIC
design and its academic exclusiveness in Bangladesh. In the next segment Mr. Sazadur Rahman will conduct an interactive workshop on RTL synthesis, Physical Design and Verification of a simple ASIC chip using Cadence Genus RTL Synthesis, Cadence Innovus Implementation and Cadence Virtuoso. Attendees will get to access Cadence tools and get a hands on experience on RTL to GDSII design flow. Each step will be briefly discussed first and then attendees will get to run those steps by themselves in the workshop.

Dr. A.B.M. Harun-ur Rashid
Professor, Department of EEE
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET)
Dr. Harun is considered as the pioneer of VLSI in Bangladesh who has led this field in BUET for more than 20 years and taken up to international level. By this time Dr. Harun has brought about significant upgradation of VLSI related courses, led researches not only in BUET but also in other private organizations. Earlier he has completed PhD degree from The University of Tokyo, Japan after completion of BSc from the department of EEE, BUET. Upon completion of PhD Dr. Harun has served Texas Instruments, Japan for 5 years as Design Engineer and developed Bi-CMOS which was used by TI in many AMS chips. He has also served as a visiting research fellow at Hiroshima University. As a very talented student and energetic researcher Dr. Harun received several prestigious domestic and international awards, honors & scholarships.
