Abstract :
An overview is given of presently common design methods for VLSI. A comparison is made between VLSI and software design methods and the conclusion is drawn that VLSI design is still in its infancy. It is predicted that rapid progress, especially in the area of automated or computer-aided design, will allow system designers with little (if any) knowledge of silicon processing or MOS transistors to design digital circuits of large complexity in moderate design times
