IDESA

IDESA LogoIDESA is a European Union Framework 7 project which aims to train academic staff from European academia in the key area of microelectronics design using small geometry integrated circuit processes so that they may train degree level students more effectively. This training is disseminated through the running of a series of seminars and practical sessions run at regular intervals throughout Europe as well as through the use of state of the art multimedia technology over the web or on DVD. The material covered in these sessions is free of intellectual property rights and is made available to academia for reuse in the course portfolios of bachelor and master engineering curricula. Currently IDESA runs four courses:

  • Advanced analogue implementation flow
  • Advanced RF implementation flow
  • Physical implementation flow
  • Design for manufacturing

The aim of each of these courses is to address advanced implementation issues relating to the 90 nm technology node and to give academia the skills they require to start engaging in design efforts related to the 65 nm and 45 nm technology nodes. Furthermore, these courses have been designed to use the same tools as those which are supplied to academia by the Europractice Software Service. This is to allow for the attendees to replicate the courses and pass on the skills that they have gained from these sessions at their individual institutes.

This training action is complementary to the design tools and design libraries which are available through the EUROPRACTICE service. For further information about the IDESA project please refer to the IDESA website.
