Layout Design Interview Questions Part 1

In this post I am writing some frequently asked questions in cadence for layout profile

Q1. What are standard cells and why it is used?

Q2. Explain DRC and LVS.

Q3. Draw NAND gate layout.

Q4. What is importance of DRC and LVS?

Q5. Explain any two DRC errors.

Q6. Draw NAND gate and NOR gate schematic and which gate is preferred and why?

Q7. How to avoid Electro migration?

Q8. How mosfet operates when applied positive, negative and zero voltage at gate?

Q9. Implement XOR gate using CMOS.

Q10. What happens when the PMOS and NMOS are interchanged with one another?

Q11. How does resistance of the metal lines vary with increasing thickness and increasing length?

Q12. Why PMOS transistor generally used to produce strong 1 while NMOS transistor generally used to produce strong 0?

Q13. What is difference between Hard IP and Soft IP?

Q14. What is the purpose of minimum area design rules?

Q15. Difference between analog and digital layouts.
