(2 Questions)
- Q1. What are the collaterals in PDK
- Ans.
Collaterals in PDK refer to additional files and documents that provide information and support for the Process Design Kit.
Collateral files may include documentation on process technology, design rules, device models, and simulation parameters
These collaterals help designers understand and utilize the PDK effectively
Examples of collaterals in PDK are process design rules (PDR), technology files, and layout design guide
- Q2. How do you resolve soft connect errors in LVS
- Ans.
Soft connect errors in LVS can be resolved by adjusting the connectivity rules and verifying the layout.
Review the connectivity rules to ensure they are correctly defined
Check for any missing or incorrect connections in the layout
Verify the layout against the design to identify and fix any discrepancies
Use debugging tools to pinpoint the source of the soft connect errors
(2 Questions)
- Q1. Explain parasitics of a device
- Ans.
Parasitics of a device refer to unwanted electrical properties that affect its performance.
Parasitics include resistance, capacitance, and inductance in a device.
They can cause signal delays, power losses, and interference.
Examples of parasitics are stray capacitance in a PCB trace or resistance in a wire.
Minimizing parasitics is crucial for optimizing device performance.
- Q2. How can you build a cap from a mos
- Ans.
A MOS capacitor can be built by creating a metal-oxide-semiconductor structure.
Start by depositing a layer of oxide on a silicon substrate
Then deposit a layer of metal on top of the oxide
Finally, connect the metal layer to a terminal for the capacitor

Intel interview questions for designations
I applied via campus placement at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Chennai and was interviewed in Dec 2016. There was 1 interview round.
Interview Questionnaire
2 Questions
- Q1. Timing Analysis , what changes are required if circuit violets hold time and set up time constraints.
- Ans.
Timing analysis changes for violating hold time and set up time constraints.
For violating hold time constraint, the circuit needs to be redesigned to increase the delay of the data path.
For violating set up time constraint, the circuit needs to be redesigned to decrease the delay of the data path.
Hold time violations can be resolved by inserting additional flip-flops or increasing the clock-to-Q delay.
Set up time viola...
- Q2. Explain project.
- Ans.
I designed a component for a new smartphone model.
Developed a compact and efficient component for a smartphone
Collaborated with a team of engineers to ensure compatibility and functionality
Performed extensive testing and analysis to optimize performance
Implemented design changes based on feedback and requirements
Ensured compliance with industry standards and regulations
