Introduction
Analog layout design requires knowledge of designing layout of complex VLSI (very large scale integration) circuits using graphic editing tools in Analog domain. A major portion of the job is in creation of new physical design data from concepts, partial schematics or a working knowledge of overall requirements. Responsibilities include checking the design integrity with respect to semiconductor ground rules and the logical function of the circuit. Symbolic circuit data (schematics) are converted to physical shapes which represent the semiconductor process. The role ranges from manual shapes and checking tool manipulations to extended team coordination and methodology creation. The employee guides functional objectives or technologies.
