Foolish Poor Yoo is ongoing

Life is brief, Day unfolds slowly, Moment lasts forever.

  • Appreciation for someone who lets me say “Hello, FAB,” who gives me the space to think and talk, to laugh and cry, to be foolish and hungry… and to become a little bit better human. As my gratitude for his atomic existence, I willingly present my findings today. (Mar 12)

  • Not live and love on autopilot. Love and live courageously. As long as the heart beats, pray and go on. (Mar 8)

  • I find it fascinating when different perspectives or properties meet and influence each other in understanding a single object or phenomenon. In my daily life, I am particularly interested in the interaction between electronic devices and humans—areas that cannot be addressed through traditional forms of communication. At the moment, however, I feel as if I am walking through the fog of Verilog and SPICE. (Mar 7)
  • I focus on my assignments because of longing for emotional maturity and radical honesty. (Mar 5)
  • I’m wandering through the night, but the stars are shining, so… it’s still okay.(Mar 4)
  • I’m a stalker. Please be careful. To fly into the open future, I’m doing what I can. (Mar 3)
  • I aim to complete this course to survive in the upcoming school life. (Feb 23)
  • Hopely, I will design my microelectronics chips. (Feb 16)

Learning Objectives

  1. Write synthesizable Verilog for digital circuits (combinational and sequential logic, state machines)
  2. Simulate and verify designs using testbenches and waveform analysis
  3. Use open-source EDA tools (Yosys, OpenROAD, Magic) to take RTL to layout
  4. Understand the chip development pipeline from specification through fabrication
  5. Read and apply PDK design rules for a real manufacturing process (Sky130)
  6. Prepare a design for tapeout on an educational shuttle (Tiny Tapeout or similar) You’ll complete hands-on projects that could actually be fabricated on silicon.
