本文讨论了如何通过跨大学合作和共享设计到硅片框架来解决将芯片流片整合进大学教育中的难题。

Abstract

Providing students with experience from chip specification to fabricated silicon can strengthen chip-design education, but integrating tapeout into regular teaching is difficult to scale, especially across universities with different curricula, schedules, regulations, and technical infrastructures. This article discusses the implementation experience and lessons learned from a cross-university approach developed within the Edu4Chip European project. The approach combines aligned learning outcomes, local Master's implementations, and a shared design-to-silicon framework across five European universities.

Problem

• chip tapeout
• university education
• curricula differences
• technical infrastructure

Innovation
