ASIC Prototyping with FPGAs
Recently, there is a growing use of FPGAs to prototype ASICs as part of an ASIC verification methodology.
With development costs for ASICs approaching $20M, avoiding a respin by prototyping with FPGAs is attractive alternative.
This paper explorers the key issues designers should consider when developing and ASIC prototyping methodology.

ASIC Design Tutorial
Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) are used to integrate huge systems on single chip.
This tutorial discusses the steps in an ASIC design flow starting from Schematic Capture and Behavioral Modeling moving to Logic Synthesis and Optimization, Gate-Level optimization and Simulation and finally Extraction and Back-annotation.

Testbench.in - ASIC Functional Verification Tutorial
There are many sources available for basic VLSI/DIGITAL and Hardware Description Languages(HDL's). As the Verification becomes the more and more complex and important there is a need of Hardware Verification Languages (HVL's) like Systemverilog, OpenVera... etc and Methodologies.
But there isn't any great source available for Hardware Verification Languages(HVL's) and Methodologies.
