About

ATPG –  Pattern Generation & Simulation (Siemens Tessent Visualizer; Spyglass Verdi) o Resolved DRC issues in tracing like E14, T3, R14, T5, R1 etc. o Resolving P1 in sourcing and calling PDLs. o Writing Flat model and creating README to load flat model. o Pattern generation and simulation debug.  PLDRC to check for sanity checks of DFT design (Spyglass from Synopsys) Completed PLDRC on two successfully taped out projects. Resolved Clock_11,26, Async_07, Conn_01,02,09,10 rules. Wrote my own rules to check existence of ports for pre-MBIST insertion.  IDDQ o Listing out pins responsible to put a chip in ON and OFF state to get Q current o Creating OFF sequence to shut down the whole chip in an order to avoid X-propagation. o Debugged JDR programming issues by scrutinizing test setup. o PA simulations o Bringing up all core merge session (EDTs inclusive for all cores) ST -> Software development - 1. Python - Development of a tool based on Kraken Framework (written in python, based on MVC architecture ). 2. PyQt5 Library (USER INTERFACE designing) 3. GIT (version control). 4. Crontab. 5. Used OOPS extensively. Linux side - 1. Comfortable with command line interface 2. Shell scripting (Writing scripts to automate validation)

Internship Trainee

Aug 2020 – Jun 2021 · 10 mos · Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India

I worked here mainly in 3 domains:
1. Analog Flows -
Worked as Co - Author in publication of "Early Layout Area & PLS estimation by Designers".
Our research got selected VLSID 2021 & DAC 2021.
While working on this paper, I had hands on most of the analog Flow (Schematic -> Floorplanning -> PnR -> Layout -> DRC, LVS cleaning -> PLS-> Area Estimation).
The tools used by me were Schematic suite, Layout Suite, Modgen, Spectre from Cadence & Calibre from Mentor, Animate preview from Pulsic
2. Application Development : -
Working in GUI development of various tools using KRAKEN framework and PyQt5 Library in python.
Learning SKILL for automations in Cadence environment.
Learning Tcl/Tk for automations.
Learnt how to share data from GIT server.
3. Automating Quality Assessment :-
Wrote Shell scripts to automate the flow of validating a tool.
Made a CSH wrapper to run a script which took various arguments as inputs
Extensive use of Shell Scripting using Emacs & gvim as editors
