Demand for microelectronics products has seen a recent explosion due to their increased adaption in high-performance data storage, networking, and Internet of Things applications. Not only such products need to provide high performance, they are often integrated in mixed signal environments that include both analog and digital circuits. This has posed a challenge to faculty who teach microelectronics design in senior undergraduate and graduate electrical engineering courses. It is becoming increasingly difficult to upgrade microelectronics curricula, so students are enabled with the proper skills to utilize design tools presently common in the industry. This study provides a mechanism to integrate five state of the art design tools in one single design project. The tools are Custom Compiler, Hewlett Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit, verilog compiler simulator, IC Validator, and Design Complier. Students, through a design project, conduct the design, layout, and simulations of an static random-access memory array. The project utilizes both the full-custom and the semi-custom flows. One full design is created and integrated where students do the design and layout of transistors in specific circuits and generate synthesized circuits automatically from a high-level description language. This study can serve as a resource for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and practicing engineers. Finally, it can help electrical engineering programs meet Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology studentsʼ outcome (k) which is an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
