Research Workflow in Integrated Circuit (IC) Design in our lab.Â
Identifying a key research problem.
Propose a novel solution (either at the circuit level or at the system level or, both).
Simulate and verify the idea through top-level validation.
Design a prototype integrated circuit and send it for fabrication.
Develop a printed circuit board (PCB) for chip integration and testing.
Test and characterize the fabricated chip to corroborate the proposed idea with the measured results from the chip!
 A successful chip usually finds its way to a good journal or a conference!Â
