Design of analog integrated systems focused on the analog IC blocks improvement, especially power consumption and system thermal management. The issue of this topic can be extended by investigation of the encapsulated chips reliability, modeling of integrated systems reliability and life-time, system thermal management of ICs and MEMS structures. Development approach has character of the electronics system design in Cadence design environment and perfection of circuit parameters; evolving of new methodologies for the calculation and evaluation of lifetime; modeling of thermo-mechanical properties of encapsulated electronics systems using ANSYS or CoventorWare. www.micro.fel.cvut.cz

The analog design of integrated circuits is now hand-designed and extensive designer experience is required. A very interesting alternative for automating the circuit topology design process may be to develop a method based on machine learning techniques that would allow the process of physical design synthesis of an analog circuit to be improved. The aim of this PhD thesis is to develop a methodology for automated physical synthesis of analog circuits based on machine learning methods. In solving this topic, we assume cooperation with ST Microelectronics, which has a comprehensive database of integrated circuit topologies, on which machine learning will be tested.
