have to create a flow for synthesis, PNR, STA and Layout verification according to customer requirement.
Client name: INTEL
Project: ASIC QA Flow Development for the 14nm Designs
Technology: 14nm.
Tools: Cadence and Synopsys
Description: In this project my contribution towards team is to develop a RTL to GDS flow for block. In this flow I
have to create a flow for synthesis, PNR, STA and Layout verification for both Cadence and Synopsys tools (like:
Synopsys: - ICC, DC, PT, StarRC and ICV
Cadence: - RC, Innovus, Encounter, Tempus, QRC and Caliber
According to customer requirement. Here I have done complete automation for this flow which will provide end to end
flow to the user along with reports to their corresponding mail. This is all carried by one GUI which created by different
scripting languages like:
GUI: python, Tcl tk, and html
Synopsys and Cadence tools flow: Tcl
UNIX environment: shell
Reporting XLS at each stage SYN, APR and LV: Perl
Client name: INTEL
Project: Block level implementation and Full chip Layout Verification
Technology: 32nm.
Tool used: IC compiler, caliber.
Description: In this project my contribution towards team is PNR flow for block and built the setup for full chip
layout verification. Here in PNR flow my role is to do floorplan, placement and CTS. After creation of setup for LV using
that flow to fix DRC violations using caliber. And I need to create Milk way cells using gds file.
Client name: AmpdRF

2. Project: Full chip Layout Verification
Technology: 14nm.
Tool used: IC compiler, caliber.
Description: In this project my contribution towards team is to fix DRC violations using caliber. And I need to create
Milk way cells using gds file.
Client name: Semtech
Project: 8 bit Microprocessor design (RTL to Netlist)
Technology: 45nm.
Tool used: Modalism, NC launch, RC compiler, Encounter.
Description: I have done this project in my training period. In this project I have done 8-bit microprocessor using
Verilog. After design I have verified with some test cases and performed synthesis for this. Now I am doing PnR
Flow for this project.
Client name: Sankalp
Internship at INTEL:-
9 Months’ experience in Physical design domain as graduate intern in INTEL Corporation
. (October 2014 to July 2015)
Project: Full chip Clock Tree Synthesis and Design Implementation
Objective: In this project my contribution towards team is to enable the new flow for full chip clock trees synthesis for
hierarchical design. Here I need to analyze the flow and I have to do few experiments on different stages in flow. After
these experiments I have to suggest for the flow which one is best. I have done automation scripts for ETM checks. Using
this flow I have done clock tree synthesis for the design.
