In this interview with Professor James Stine, we talk about: Why is Open Source the key to innovation? What do students struggle with most when learning to design standard cell libraries? What are the biggest misconceptions engineers have about standard cells? What’s James’ tool flow? How many cells are needed to make a library? Why do we need another library for Global Foundries (GF) 180? How far are open source tools from commercial tools?| Zero to ASIC Course
