Course Description

This course is a follow-up to TSEK06 VLSI Design Project and gives the students a possibility to test and evaluate their chip designs.

Required Background

The student must have attended TSEK06 VLSI Design Project and sent a chip for fabrication.

Examination

The only grades given are fail and pass. These will be based on both the evaluation effort and a written report that describes the evaluation and the outcome of it. Also a short presentation of the measurment is required.

The report should be handed in to the supervisors by the end of the course. The exact date will be posted on this page later.

Mead Lab Bookings

The Mead lab will be used for soldering of your printed circuit board (PCB) as well as the actual measurement of your chip.

Each day consists of two time slots, morning (8-12) and afternoon (13-17). This is done to make it easier to fit in your schedules, but for efficiency reasons, you will probably want to book complete days if possible. Each group is allowed to book two complete days, ie. four slots. Aim to finish during those. Should there be need for more time after that, we will discuss it at that point in time.

The procedure to book a slot is to first find times where the group and the supervisor are available; then check for the availability of those times in the table below; and finally send an e-mail to the head TA with a booking request for those slots.
