| 清華大學半導體研究學院特聘教授李炯霆，憑藉曾任新思科技（Synopsys）副總裁及思源科技（SpringSoft）研發副總的資深資歷，深植其在 EDA 領域的領袖地位。李教授專精於「設計自動化」實務教學，核心授課範疇橫跨 EDA 演算法及 3DIC 精佈局技術；李教授將分享多年 EDA 工具開發經驗，期盼藉由教學串連產學，縮減理論與實務的距離。 | |
| Jeong-Tyng Li, NTHU Distinguished Professor and former Vice President of Synopsys, is a leading authority in the EDA industry. His expertise spans EDA algorithms and 3DIC layout, with a curriculum focused on practical design automation. By integrating foresight in AI chip design and logic synthesis into his teaching, By integrating his experience in leading several EDA tool development into his teaching, Professor Li acts as a strategic link between industry and academia, effectively narrowing the gap between theoretical research and industrial practice. | |

| 「在這次的 DA(2) 大魔王作業裡，我們直接動手做，挑戰寫出自己的 EDA 開發工具！內容超級精實，直接大滿貫包辦：DRC 規矩檢查、LVS 抓錯糾察隊、Custom 手工通宵佈局、RC 寄生蟲萃取，還有現在最夯的 3DIC 摩天大樓疊疊樂！不只這樣，我們這次還走超級大運，竟然請到業界的隱藏版大牛（Experts）親自降臨！要手把手教大家怎麼從零開發 SPICE 模擬大腦、秀訊號必備的波形觀測器，還有連台積電都極度依賴的微影光罩魔法——OPC 光學逆向變形修正！」 |
關於DA (2) 課程大解密
About This DA (2) Course
| ♠ | We will discuss the major aspects in developing CAD tools for custom design,design rule checking (DRC), |
| layout versus schematic (LVS), RC extraction, 3DIC layout | |
| • Based on the engineering efforts I led throughout my career. And more on finFet | |
| ♠ | Also we are fortunate to have experts coming to discuss how to develop Spice simulator, |
| waveform viewing and OPC | |
| ♠ | Working together to help you learning the practical aspects of EDA tools |
| • How does design rule checking work? • What is layout versus schematic? Why layout density matters? • Important things to watch in analog layout; how about using FinFet • How is the look up table created in cap extraction? • When watching videos, we can think about how those functionalities were implemented? • ... | |
| ♠ | We design some projects for you to understand more |
| ♠ | This course is to broaden your EDA knowledge beyond digital design |
