Hi,
I am interested in Digital VLSI design... I know basic stuff about semiconductors,gates, latches and the like....

However I have little or no idea about the actual physical design and layout process.......

I went through your forums and found that most people had suggested we start with the following book-

Uyemura
Eshragian & Weste
Rabaey, Chandrakasan & Nilkolic

My query is, which one of these books would you suggest as a first read for a complete novice like me(as these books are rather expensive)...


Thank you...

Hi dave,
I have one more query.........
one of my friends has the Uyemura book......
Can i have it as a secondary reference or would you rather I stick with a single book......?
