Chip Design

During this project, the student will learn how to make a chip design with a group. The project focuses on structural hierarchical design and on working together within a group. The students are divided into groups of about 6-8 persons and each group together designs a chip. All groups will have to select one or more sensors that are used by the chip design.

A grade is given for a module design report that is written halfway during the project, by 2 or 3 students, about a part of the design.

A group grade is determined based on the evaluation of:

• Results (40 %)

  • Originality and complexity of the design

  • Achieved results with respect to SV simulation

  • Achieved results with respect to FPGA prototyping

  • Achieved results with respect to simulation after placement and routing 

  • Submitted design files

• Design process (20 %)

  • Design methods applied

  • Collaboration within the group

• Final report (20 %)

• Presentation and defense (20 %)

The group grade is adjusted by a peer review that is held.

When G is the group grade, P is the possible adjustment made by a peer review (-1 <= P <= 1), and M is the grade for the module report, then the final individual grade is computed as 0.8 x (G + P) + 0.2 x M.5.

In case of an insufficient final result, repair options may exist in accordance with Article 17A Times and number of examinations, sub 1, of the Teaching and Examination Regulations 2024-2025.
