Physical Layout
• The final output of a frontend design or circuit design or logic design is a
netlist. The netlist contains the logical functionality of a chip. This netlist
could be viewed as a plethora of instances with interconnections (nets)
between them based on the functionality to implement. This connectivity
information in a netlist is a layer of abstraction of the hardware which
must be converted to a physically realizable format (having geometric
shapes) that is manufacturable. The Innovus tool is to carry out physical
design and finally generating a GDSII file.
Design Steps
• The designing steps are as followed, the first step is to import design and
library files as required, the second step is to build layout area (Floor plan,
dimensions), the third step is to place the standard cells from the design
(percent core utilization is visible) and the final step is to route the nano
route and checks for the DRC errors using the Innovus. The Innovus
generates the netlist, .sdf file, GDSII files. The simulation is for the post-
layout of the design

Future Scope
• For future research, a new type of PPA adders such as Kogge Stone and
so on can be examined to implement the change in the Verilog modules.
Further, different tree multipliers such as Vedic Multipliers, Logarithmic
Multipliers, and so on can be used with the above adders multiple times.
And also for ease of use in designing the Multiplier Accumulator (MAC)
unit where the arithmetic operations are delaying the results using the
above-stated multipliers and adders.
