Design of any complex mechanism (electronic, software, mechanical, etc.) requires a cyclic process of design, prototyping, test, identifying problems, and repeat until the mechanism comes reasonably close to meeting its requirements.
"Physical design" part in the VLSI flow starts from the floorplanning and ends at tapeout of GDSII file. It includes, floorplanning, power planning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, post routing optimizations, physical verification, DFM, DFY, SI Analysis, IR drop analysis, Signoff.
flow of charge is called current. but the direction of flow of current is always taken oppsite to the flow of charge.
A fluid's resistance to flow is called its viscosity.
The continuous flow of positive charges is called current
Chip Designing: Chip Designing is how to built a Chip means what are the Steps involved and how to make a chip from Concept,Architecture,Follow Chip Design Flow and Fabricate in a Foundry for a specific process. An Analogy is mentioned to understand the chip designing concept with an well known architecture(Building) and Detailed explanation on the VLSI(Very large scale integration) Flow (what is the methodology involved in chip dEsigning). Chip Programming : Configuration of the Chip can be modified dynamically using Fusing or some other methods.
VLSI abbreviates to Very Large Scale Integration. VLSI is a chip design flow, to design Integrated circuits or IC chips. The chip in the mobile phone will enable functionality like Digital Signal Processing[DSP], Base band processing, Security, communication protocols like GSM/CDMA ...
The whole cycle is known as the water cycle.

Top down approach is based on Chip level flow, If the design is small then we can opt for this approach . Bottom down approach is hierarchical based chip design flow, If our Design is big, then , the chip is divided in to small manageable modules, it is similar to "Divide and Conquer approach", Finish the small manageable modules , so that the run time will be controlled, and then finally integrate in to one-chip.
A repeating process or flow of materials through a system is called a "cycle." It involves the continuous movement of materials or components through different stages or processes in a circular pattern. Examples include the water cycle, carbon cycle, and nitrogen cycle.
In general, it is the water cycle. It is more [physically] specifically known as Flow.

The cyclic flow of nutrients between biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components is called a nutrient cycle. This process involves the transfer of essential nutrients, such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, through various ecosystems, where they are utilized by organisms and returned to the environment. These cycles are crucial for maintaining ecosystem health and supporting life. Examples include the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and phosphorus cycle.
In the Chip design flow to estimate the Chip Die size (means area ) how much is needed , could be pad limited or core-limited. After performing the padring of the chip(arranging of pads/pins), the scenario is such that the core area(logic area) is less then the die or chip is called as pad limited or pin limited design whereas if the core area or logic area of the chip is more than the pad area then the die-size of the chip is core-limited.
