A Physical Design Engineer is responsible for transforming RTL code into a manufacturable layout by handling floorplanning, placement, routing, timing closure, and power optimization in the VLSI design flow.
DFT (Design for Testability) is a VLSI methodology that integrates test structures into a chip to enable efficient fault detection and manufacturing testing.
Design Verification ensures that a VLSI chip's design functions correctly by using simulation, formal verification, and debugging techniques to detect and fix errors before fabrication.
