Welcome to the IC Design Guide

A community-driven documentation for learning and teaching integrated circuit design.

This project is an open documentation created by the community, for the community, with the goal of providing a clear and practical guide to the complete flow of integrated circuit (IC) design.
It is intended for professors, students, and designers who want to explore the process of going from specifications and simulation all the way to a final GDSII layout.

What you will find here

• Theory and context — fundamental concepts of digital, analog, and mixed-signal IC design.
• Step-by-step tutorials — practical examples using open-source tools.
• Design flows — from schematic capture and simulation to layout, verification, and GDS export.
• Educational material — content oriented to teaching and classroom use.
• Community contributions — shared knowledge, tips, and best practices collected from experience.
