Book Reviews of CMOS IC Layout : Concepts, Methodologies, and Tools (Newnes)
Book Review: little has changed in 25 years
Summary: 4 Stars
In 1980, Carver Mead and Lynn Conway published their classic "Introduction to VLSI Systems". For the first time, it abstracted the key concepts of VLSI design, common to most fabs. In such a way that undergrads could use the book to design a chip that would then be fabricated. Now, from 1999 we have this book by Clein. It goes into more details about various types of CMOS circuits. Accompanied by a good section on the proliferation of standard cell libraries.
Of course, you'd expect some changes in 20 years. Moore's Law and all that. But what is striking about the book is that there is no significant conceptual difference between both books. It is as though you took two introductory physics texts, 20 years apart, and diffed the content. No new laws of physics appeared in the interim. What it means is that a hypothetical user of Mead and Conway in the 80s could pick up Clein's book and just focus on what are essentially subsidiary details.
Plus, the book was written in 1999. It is now 2007. Three cycles of Moore's Law have elapsed. Maybe Clein should update it. But in the absence of this, it is still quite germane.
This book will become obsolete when CMOS becomes obsolete.
