Hi, I'm not sure what you are commenting. I would like to point out that this short presentation is for digital-on-top integration. In other words, the flow is run in a digital place and route tool, such as Cadence Innovus or Synopsys Fusion. The point of the presentation is to discuss how to prepare a custom-designed block for integration in a digital flow. This is as opposed to analog-on-top, which is preparing the entire design in a transistor-level tool, such as Cadence Virtuoso. Here, the custom block will be designed in such a tool, but the overall tapeout will be prepared in the digital tool.
Hi, Sorry, but I don't know of any freely available courses on layout design. I'm not saying that there aren't any of these - I just am not aware of them. I am pretty sure that the leading EDA companies (e.g., Cadence, Synopsys, Siemens-EDA) provide such training and these are often free to academic participants. In addition, I get emails from KalTech (kaltech.co.il/ic-training/) with offers for their layout courses, but I have never taken one of them, so I cannot recommend them.

Fabulous effort in creating this playlist.
Thanks for explaining the concepts by adding up the practical design issues and fixes.
Thanks!
Analog on Top

Nice explanation Adi...👍
Thank you so much 🙂
Can you please suggest any course on layout design please

Whats the book for guidelines you keep referring to in the lecture?
