演講大綱﹕

With the rapid rise of AI in various fields, we naturally wonder whether it can help or even replace analog designers. As a first step in our investigation, we evaluate the present capabilities of ChatGPT and probe its conceptual understanding beyond what it can find online. We limit our study to undergraduate analog CMOS circuits, pose questions to ChatGPT, and analyze the answers that it provides. We report answers of which many are surprising, either because they are not obvious but correct or because they are obvious but incorrect. Whether or not AI  will replace analog designers in the near future will be clear by the end of the presentation.

Abstract:

Power Consumption is more and more a major issue in the design of integrated systems and circuits. The optimization of the In designs must be done in all level of design abstraction, this means in all steps of the design flow. But, we will focus on optimization at logic and physical design level. Nowadays, most circuits use much more transistors than needed. A way to reduce power consumption at physical level is to reduce the number of transistors used to implement a circuit, as leakage power is proportional to the number of transistors. It is shown a physical design approach to reduce the number of transistors needed to perform a task.  It is proposed an EDA tool set to automatically generate the physical design of any transistor network. It shows an important reduction on power, improving also reliability. A standard cell library has a limited number of logical functions, and a limited number of sizings. The lecture is target in optimization methods to reduce the number of transistors of a circuit. The methods allow the  automatic generation of any possible logical function or transistor network, and using any transistor sizing. It is included comparisons with solutions using the traditional standard cell methodology.

演講題目：FinFET Analog Cell Layout Guidelines

主講人：台積電 周文昇資深經理（Vincent Wen-Shen Chou）

• 日期：2025/6/27(星期五)
• 時間：下午1:30～3:30
• 地點：臺大電機二館106室
• 報名網址：https://forms.gle/6Z8gEmx1K8YFigjM6

Speaker Bio: Vincent Wen-Shen Chou was born in Taipei, Taiwan. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering Department from National Taiwan University, Taiwan in 1994 and 1996 respectively. He also received the Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Electronic Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan. From 2003 to 2016, he was engaged in Mixed-Signal design in TSMC Design and Technology Platform. His research interests include High-Speed Digital-to-Analog Converter, Power Management Integrated Circuit and Mixed-Signal circuit designs. From 2017, he leads a team to develop tsmc Analog Cell Design and Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO) with related design flow. TSMC introduced silicon-proven Analog Cells in 2018 at the N5 node, now offered for all FinFET nodes with successful customer adoptions. His recent research focuses on Analog Design Automation and Advanced Technology Analog Cell DTCO.

Abstract: Starting from FinFET technology introduction: including basic FinFET architecture, key features vs planar MOS, and some basic process flow, e.g. self-align and double patterning. Then we will cover some key Analog Design and Layout Guidelines for FinFET technologies, e.g. 4-fin grid rules for mismatch. Next will introduce the analog cells and DTCO with their impacts on Advanced Node CMOS Analog/Mixed-Signal Circuits. Analog Cell DTCO achieves better PPA, smaller S2S gap, ~10% analog IP area shrinkage, and ~50% layout effort reduction. It improves the node-to-node analog migration with 2X productivity and enables the analog design automation through the ADM flow and supporting utilities.

- Title: Publish or Perish? A Rookie Scholar's Guide to Graduate School
- Abstract:
Navigating graduate school, especially at the doctoral level, can be challenging.
This talk aims to present essential mindsets and practical strategies that may help new graduate students.

I will begin by highlighting the importance of passion, a critical ingredient for sustained academic achievement.
I will introduce my research interests in formal methods,
an area deeply rooted in logic, automata theory, and constraint solving,
and their applications in ensuring the correctness of computing systems with mathematical rigor.

Next, I will reflect on the well-known aphorism "Publish or Perish" and its implications for graduate students.
I will introduce peer-review processes and provide some tips on managing research projects and effectively writing papers.

Finally, drawing from my own experiences as a doctoral student at GIEE,
through my transition from Electronics Engineering to a PostDoc in Computer Science,
and eventually back as an Assistant Professor at NTU,
I will share valuable insights and lessons I wish I had known at the beginning of my doctoral study.
