Vadim Borisov completed an internship and master's thesis at Fraunhofer IIS on analog circuit design. His supervisor, Benjamin Prautsch, provides a strong recommendation for Borisov's skills in analog layout design and his ability to work independently on challenging mixed-signal circuit projects. Prautsch confirms that Borisov has a deep understanding of analog design and the skills to contribute high quality work, especially in layout implementation. He believes Borisov would be well suited for a PhD project or other industry opportunities in integrated circuit design.

Recommendation Letter for Vadim Borisov
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am pleased to recommend Vadim Borisov for a position in the area of analog circuit design. As employee at
the Fraunhofer IIS/EAS, group Integrated Sensor Electronics, I was his thesis supervisor and we worked together
closely. During this time I got to know Vadim Borisov very well.
In the period of 16.07.2015 – 15.12.2015 Mr. Borisov has performed his internship in the topic “Development
of a Parameterizable MOS-Transistor Array for Analog Design ReUse in Multiple Technologies” at the
Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Design Automation Division EAS. The following period of
16.12.2015 – 30.06.2016, he focused on his Master thesis topic “Development of a Fully Automated CMOS
Bandgap Voltage Reference IP for Multiple Technology Nodes Down to 28 nm for Automotive Applications”,
at our institute.
Mr. Borisov’s deep understanding of analog circuit design, especially in the layout domain but also in schematic
design, and his ability to quickly conceive implementation details of our automation-supported IIP design flow
highly qualified him to implement a key project goal, namely the generic parameterizable MOS-Transistor Array
for multiple topologies and multiple technologies, in best quality. Compared to other students, Vadim Borisov
is able to contribute much more in the layout domain due to his very good understanding of analog design
arising from his former work in the domain of analog layout. Vadim Borisov has the skills, motivation and pace
of work enabling him to work on new and challenging topics in the mixed-signal circuit domain. Therefore, in
my opinion he is a very good candidate for a forward-looking topic within a PhD project or other challenging
projects in the industry.
We wish Vadim the very best for his future work and interesting projects in the domain of integrated circuits.
For all of the upper reasons, I think Vadim Borisov is a fine addition to each group or project in the design
domain. In case of any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Yours sincerely,
Benjamin Prautsch
