About Xiao Luo

9 years of intensive experience in the physical implementation of full-custom on-chip SRAM, as well as test-chips. More than 10 tape-outs fabricated in several technologies spanning from 5nm down to 110nm. Papers on A-SSCC and ESSCIRC. A highly motivated, self-disciplined, self-driven, and dedicated engineer with diligence, intelligence, and passion, who is enthusiastic about IC design. Besides strong technical, analytical, and problem-solving skills, I am curious, ambitious, and strongly motivated to conduct research. The main interest is the implementation of digital ASIC, architectures for high-performance ultra-low-power memory design, which can be operated with an aggressively scaled supply voltage. Possess a deep understanding of semiconductor device fabrication and processes in ISO5-cleanroom in Lund NANO Lab. Worked as a teaching assistant at Lund University in several MSc courses where a professional & pedagogic way of delivering knowledge to others is acquired. Experienced a variety of disparate cultures, which has greatly expanded my horizon and given me a far better understanding of cultural diversity. Professional Expertise in Cadence Design Platform: Automation: SKILL/SKILL++ development ASIC design: Virtuoso Layout Suite + Schematic Suite + Netlist Simulation: Spectre-X/APS/XPS/MDL, ADE/ Explorer & Assembler Verification: Pegasus, PegasusDFM, PVS Parasitics extraction: Quantus Design for manufacturing: DFM/MVS, Voltus, Voltus-Fi, Voltus-XFI, MAS, DRCPlus, LPA, etc. Digital: Innovus & Encounter etc. Strong expertise in Digital IC Design, Analog IC Design, and DSP with optimization on VLSI & circuit level Skilled in developing ASIC-Design-Flow for digital, analog, and signoff stages. Keen interest in low-power analog & digital design and familiarity with physical-level design Possess an engineering mindset, passion, and excellent attention to details Effective communication skills with the ability to adjust styles according to the audience Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to work both individually and in teams, fostering a teamwork spirit
