Fundamentals of Layout Design for Electronic Circuits

Jens Lienig is the director of the Institute of Electromechanical and Electronic Design at Dresden University of Technology, Germany. He received his Ph.D. in the field of computer-aided physical design of multi-chip modules and was employed as a researcher at University of Virginia, Charlottesville and Concordia University, Montreal. Afterwards he worked as project manager at Tanner Research, Inc. and Robert Bosch GmbH. Juergen Scheible is full Professor for Electronic Design Automation at Reutlingen University. He received his Ph.D. in the field of Electrical Engineering at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. From 1992 to 2010, he was with the Automotive Electronics Division, Robert Bosch GmbH, Reutlingen, Germany. There, he was a Senior Engineer in ASIC design, working as Project Manager for the improvement of IC and hybrid design processes and as Director of EDA tool management. He was also the Head of the Department for IC Layout Design.
