Lab Policy

Please read before joining HPIC Design Lab.
  • Recommend working at the office with colleagues (No regulations on working hours).
  • In the first year, don’t worry too much about the chores you may have in the funded project. Rather than being in an active project, make your own chip (any tiny building blocks are fine) work and submit your manuscript to wherever it takes; you must understand the entire process (or goal) in the first year.
  • Bonus credit will be given if your manuscripts are accepted in the following: IEEE ISSCC/VLSI and IEEE JSSC.(another proceedings or journals could be added afterward.)
  • Tutorials on necessary skills in HPIC will be given as lectures or recorded videos. (how to model PLL, CDR, and Transceivers in Verilog language, write script code for efficient simulations, etc.)
