JOB EXPERIENCE DETAILS:
Ikanos Communication Inc., Fremont CA April'07 to till
date
Sr. Staff Engineer, Layout/Mask Design
Duties include; doing layout design from scratch cell level to full chip
level including I/O cell layouts. I am also involved in power planning,
chip floor planning with I/O pin placements, complete verification and
tapeout of full chip. Additional duties include; running VAVO/VAEO for
blocks ADC, DAC, Line drivers, and modification of rule decks to catch
extra verification checks like deep-nwell device models. Recently taped out
BiCMOS chip includes Line driver and LNA blocks which is running with 0.35u
JAZZ BiCMOS process for VDSL2 applications. I have experience in layout
design for Receiver block, DAC and Reference block for SERDES chip with
charted 65nm process. I have also worked on doing block level layout to
full chip tapeout including I/O cells of Hybrid Line driver chip with 0.5u
Philips bipolar process. I have also involved in doing layout design for
ADC, VCXODAC, Filters, Full chip integration, verification and tapeout with
0.25u TSMC CMOS process. I work closely as the main contact with key
personnel at several FAB's including TSMC, PHILIPS, charted and JAZZ. I
also involved in creating layout design for ESD diodes for Custom I/O pads
and in Power-cut regions.
Currently working on TSMC40nm Project for G.HN product, involved in doing
layout design for ADC, Regulators and reference block.

Sr. Design Engineer
I have involved in doing layout designs for 0.13u PLL with TSMC process for
a Digital chip.
I was worked on modifying TSMC I/O cell layouts for meeting custom design
requirements.
I have contributed in layout designs for PGA, LNA, Tuner circuits and Full
chip verification for CPE chip which was run with 0.25u TSMC process. I was
familiar with RF layout design such as 2.4G LNA, Gilbert's Mixer with TSMC
process and 2.4G Si-Ge BICMOS LNA with 0.8u AMS process for Wireless LAN
applications. I was also involved in making layout design blocks such as
36MHZ PLL, Low Voltage Gm-C filters (3rd and 5th Order), 6-Bit 66MSPS
single step Flash ADC with TSMC process and all the blocks were designed
for wireless LAN applications. I have worked on block level layout designs
such as 20MHz-205MHz 5-band PLL and 10-Bit current steering DAC for VIDEO
application chip. I have also worked on custom circuit designs for digital
blocks and current steering 10-Bit 76MSPS DAC.
INTEL Bangalore India (Contractor) Apr'03 to
Oct'03
I was also involved in doing RF layout design for Transmitter blocks, MDLL,
Programmable divider, Pre-scalar divider and full chip verification for an
UWB Transceiver chip which was run with 0.13u INTEL RF process. I was
worked on implementing Inductors and Transformers, with INTEL R&D group.
