Based on the objectives of the EDA tools. In order to design our own user, this paper furnishes guidelines that circuitry without any other expensive help in selecting the most appropriate licenced tools, we apt the open source open-source and freeware VLSI CAD tool tools. The design of electronic circuits can for teaching a VLSI design course. be achieved at many different refinement Keywords: VLSI, CAD Tools, Electric, levels from the most detailed layout to the Magic, Alliance, Comparative Study most abstract architectures. Introduction: Given the complexity of Very Large Scaled Integrated Circuits (VLSI) ASIC design flow is a very mature which is far beyond human ability, process in silicon turnkey design. The computers are increasingly used to aid in ASIC design flow and its various steps in the design and optimization processes. It is VLSI engineering that we describe below no longer efficient to use manual design are based on best practices and proven techniques, in which each layer is hand methodologies in ASIC chip designs.
