| Introduction to Chips and EDA for a Non-Technical Audience | ||
| Organizer(s): Karen Bartleson, Synopsys, Inc. | ||
 Have you ever wondered what everyone is talking about at the Design Automation Conference? Do the terms "semiconductor", "synthesis", "DFT", "simulation", "Design for Manufacturing" and "tape-out" sound familiar, but their definitions escape you? If so, then please plan to attend this workshop to gain a basic understanding of chip design and of the wonderful world of Electronic Design Automation (EDA).This workshop provides: *A simplified explanation for the layperson of how chips are made *A portrayal of chip design using Electronic Design Automation *An opportunity to see and touch the parts that make up chips and electronic products *A non-threatening, fun event with a working knowledge to take away This workshop is for: *Non-engineering staff from technology companies *Analysts and media people unfamiliar with EDA and semiconductor industries *Educators and students who are curious about chip technology and design automation *Friends and relatives of technical people Workshop objectives: *Provide a basic understanding of EDA and semiconductors to non-technical people *Present information in simple, easy-to-understand terms *Use hands-on parts (wafers, chips, masks) for enhanced experience *Encourage people to join the EDA industry *Address ongoing requests to help non-technical people understand the EDA industry Please note: This workshop is the same one presented at DAC 2003. The workshop is for non-technical attendees. | ||
