Part 1: DNA sequencing has gotten tremendously cheaper in the last few decades to the point where sequencing your whole genome now only costs 100$. We are on the edge of a biomedical revolution where the genetic code becomes so cheap to read that it will become the default practice of treatment. To make that happen we need to keep bringing down the cost with a next generation sequencing technology. Solid-state nanopore single-molecule sensing enables diagnostics without an amplification step such as PCR thus reducing the preprocessing time and cost. Solid-state nanopores come with stringent design specifications for transimpedance amplifiers. The seminar will look at state-of-the-art implementations and how to improve them.
Part 2: In this sub-nm era of IC design, each chip contains at least some digital. As an analog designer at micas we often lay these digital gates out by hand and pray that the timing is not violated. This tutorial will teach you, the analog designer at micas, how to transform your RTL into a verified GDS ready for importing into Virtuoso in technologies ranging from TSMC 65nm-7nm and even GF22FDX in less than a day.
