Silicon Design
In the silicon design process, a comprehensive turnkey company that offers digital design, backend, functional verification, and mass production services typically follows a series of distinct stages.
Definition
The initial phase of silicon design entails the definition process, wherein the integrated circuit (IC) specifications and requirements are systematically collected and documented.
Architectural Design
During the architectural design process in silicon design, a high-level plan is formulated, and the design is divided into functional blocks along with their interconnections. This enables a structured approach to organizing the components of the design.
Detailed Design
In the detailed design phase of silicon design, the digital circuit is implemented at the register transfer level (RTL) utilizing hardware description languages. This involves designing the specific circuit components with meticulous attention to detail.
