A: Absolutely. While it lacks extensive FinFET details (covered in newer papers), the fundamental logic design, power analysis, and interconnect modeling are timeless. Most interview questions for VLSI jobs are directly from this book.
Low-power design is the #1 constraint in modern chips. Kang’s breakdown of dynamic power ($P = f \cdot C_L \cdot V_DD^2$) and leakage power is unmatched.
