1. What is IC design? Answer: IC design is simply hardware circuit design. Designers propose design ideas based on design requirements, and gradually refine the ideas until they are implemented in specific codes; the code is integrated into the gate and netlist, and the layout is generated, and finally the product is made. In the design of IC products, good design ideas are worth a thousand gold. Of course, after having good design ideas, high-level design skills are also needed to realize them. 2. What is the National IC Designer Certificate? Answer: The National IC Designer Professional Certification Certificate is launched by the National IC Designer Examination and Certification Committee of the China Electronics Enterprise Association. It aims to cultivate a group of practical, skilled and professional professionals and is a proof of qualification assessment. IC design certification is divided into three levels: Assistant IC Designer, IC Designer and Senior IC Designer. 3. What is the China Electronics Enterprise Association? Answer: The China Electronics Enterprise Association (CEEA) is a national industry organization approved by the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the People's Republic of China. It is voluntarily formed by enterprises engaged in the research, development, production, sales and service of the electronic information industry. It is the only comprehensive industry association in the electronics industry with total assets of more than 20 million yuan. Since its establishment in 1983, the China Electronics Enterprise Association has been working under the direct leadership of the Ministry of Information Industry, and has made important contributions to the mutual communication between enterprises, industries and governments and the promotion of the development of the electronic information industry. The association has five branches and nearly 3,000 members. The current president is Mr. Zhang Jinqiang, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former vice minister of the Ministry of Electronics Industry. Since its establishment, the association has always adhered to the principle of enterprise first and service first. In order to ensure that work is carried out in accordance with the requirements and wishes of enterprises, timely understand the situation of enterprises, and grasp the dynamics of the industry, the vice presidents and directors of the association are all heads of large enterprise groups and well-known entrepreneurs in the industry. With the realization of China's accession to the World Trade Organization, the China Electricity Industry Association accelerated its pace of contact with electronic industry associations around the world and became a member of the World Electronics Forum in 2001. With the development of social situation, China Electricity Enterprises Association will further update its service concept, improve service level, and make new contributions to further promote the development of electronic information industry. 4. What are the characteristics of the National IC Designer Qualification Certificate? Answer: The IC Designer Certificate issued by the China Electronic Enterprise Association has the following characteristics: a. It has professional standard certification and authority; b. It assesses the comprehensive ability of practitioners; c. It has a systematic and complete certification standard; d. It has a detailed division of qualifications and capabilities; e. It is an authoritative industry certification; f. It can be used as a valid certificate for legal notarization. 5. What contents are included in the national IC designer examination and certification? Answer: IC design process, how to carry out SoC design, layout and routing technology under deep submicron process conditions, engineering practice, ASIC application and sub-process, synthesis and static timing analysis, LVS&DRC, FioorPLan and power consumption statistics, timing-driven physical synthesis layout, etc. The examination and certification contents have different focuses according to the level requirements. 6. Is it necessary to start from assistant IC designer? What qualifications are required for the exam? Answer: In principle, IC design certification must start from assistant IC designer, but considering the demand for talents in our country, employees with experience in electronic circuits and computers can start from IC designer after review, but students must start from assistant IC designer. Senior IC designer needs to have IC designer qualification. 7. Is it difficult for people without IC design foundation to learn? Answer: As mentioned in the first question, in the design of IC products, good design ideas are worth a thousand gold. The theoretical foundation of college students majoring in electronics, communications and computer science in our country can fully meet the requirements of IC design skills. What they lack is the ideas and experience of IC design, but experience can be acquired through learning, which is one of the purposes of our work. 8. What are the characteristics of IC designer professional certification training? Answer: 1. Emphasis on practicality and improving hands-on ability, especially for students who have just started working or are about to start working. Through short-term training, theoretical knowledge can be transformed into practical skills as soon as possible; 2. Emphasis on cultivating students' IC design ideas and enhancing students' IC design experience; 3. This certification training has different levels to meet the needs of different situations. 9. What is the method of national IC designer certification? Answer: Theoretical part and practical operation part. The theoretical part is a written test with a full score of 120 points, and the practical operation part is assessed in the form of experiments. 10. What is the pass rate of students who have undergone pre-exam training? Answer: As long as you follow the arrangements of the training institution and review carefully, the general pass rate is about 85%, but there is a control rate. 11. What is the examination schedule? Answer: The examination schedule is centrally arranged by the National IC Designer Examination and Certification Committee. 12. What qualifications should a qualified IC designer have? Answer: Our training goal is to cultivate practical talents that meet the needs of enterprises. They should have a good grasp of electronic circuit knowledge, master a design language, and be familiar with simulation tools and synthesis tools. This is necessary for a qualified IC designer. Of course, application is important, so we have certain requirements for teachers, requiring them to have certain design experience. 13. What procedures and documents are required for registration and certification? Answer: When registering, you need to bring a copy of your ID card and three 2-inch bareheaded photos. A copy of your ID card and a copy of your IC-related work experience certificate. Senior IC designers need a college degree or above and an IC designer qualification certificate. You can register after passing the assessment. |
