Discover the Hidden Secrets of RC Corners in VLSI Design: A Guide for Beginner

In this episode, the presenter covers a range of topics related to RC corners in VLSI design. The video serves as a concise guide to understanding the fundamentals of RC corners, starting with an overview of RC extraction and the ASIC design flow. The presenter then delves into post-layout parasitics visualization, explaining the importance of net resistance and capacitance. Next, the video explores corner terminologies in VLSI design, comparing real corners (PVT+RC combined) to permutations and combinations of corners. Finally, the presenter discusses the impact of improved timing sign-off and provides a summary of the key takeaways from the video. Overall, this episode is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of RC corners in VLSI design.

greate video! If I may add, typical PVT usually uses the nominal voltage and room temperature which is around 25degC.

Best RC corner explanation I have ever seen!

[waseemshalash]

well done man, please keep doing more like this, thank you.

[shantimo]

looking forward to see the text article of this part updates in the website

[cigimuni]

Minor typo process-corner x RC -Corner numbers are interchanged. Great info..

[Sarita.Bijwe]

really very useful..!!
Can you plz metion that extension of the file and its long form which is provided by the foundries that has corner values.I am unable to get that clearly in the video..something like .nxtgrt

[shantimo]

in the reliability manual of my corporation, The RC corners categoried as analog process windows

[vedavyas]

excellent explanation. Small doubt. No explanation for typical RC corner. can u pls give some explanation over it.

[soorajjp]

Inmy design i have 2 corner - fast, slow and I have 2 spef file - cmax and cmin

My doubt is can we use cmax spef file in fast corner and cmin spef file in slow corner
or we have to do like fast-cmax, slow-cmax and fast-cmin, slow-cmin combinations.

after sythesis you have missed Floorplanning stage directly went power routing

[waseemshalash]

can you suggest good books explaining this in small details?
