VSD - Custom Layout (Udemy.com)

I can’t access Magic on Mac. The instructor also tells in the course that installation is for Windows and Linux. Even in Virtual box I can’t use the tool properly because middle click has to be used for the tool and it doesn’t show DRC violations when I edit the mag files directly equivalent to what is shown in the videos. It should have been clearly written that practical’s cannot be done on Mac if this was the case.

I want to learn something about layout so that's why I taking this course. Yeah it's useful for me that not bad by taking this course and thank you for its available by free of cost.

Excellent Course Learnt a lot of new information about Fabrication process, Importance of Euler's Path in drawing stick Diagrams, How to implement a Custom Layout

There is a bit of rushing in this course, not in terms of explanation but in terms of course coverage. Could have explained some more concepts.

Great intro to VSD Custom Layout. I am an EEII, transitioning from Aerospace to the VLSI Industry, with a BS in Electrical Engineering and feel that, though my undergrad microelectronics courses were taught in great detail, they went into so much low level detail that I did not get this level of "Top Level to Bottom Level" understanding from them. Before taking this course I took the following courses from the VSD series: - VSD Physical Design Flow - Clock Tree Synthesis Part I - Clock Tree Synthesis Part II - Signal Integrity - STA Part I This course is definitely worth taking. I intend on continuing to take this instructor's courses in the order he recommends on his website. I would recommend this course to someone starting in VSD.

Great Course. Good for them who are starting with designing. Personally I think, more examples or exercises should be there. But all in all nice course. Thanks Kunal!! Keep sharing your knowledge.

Great course! CMOS fabrication process and Art of layout using Euler's path plus Stick diagram very well explained. DRC part covers main aspects of DRC rule deck. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in layout design/CMOS fabrication process.

Impressed! This course definitely filled the gaps in my understanding how designer tools and foundry communicate and liked the concept of making use of euler path/circuit for optimized layout. I must appreciate the instructor's skills explaining every minute details in a brisk fashion. Looking eagerly for part-2.

Very clear, detailed and one of the finest for both beginners and intermediates. DRC Rule check has been in detail. I strongly recommend.

Good content, reasonable level of complexity for an introduction to fabrication processes. Missing some historical context ("this is the way it used to be done, and this is the way we do it now, and this is why the new way is better"). All process steps could be flipped through quickly instead of leaving a few of them out "to save time".
