Description
About the Program
The future scope of VLSI engineers is very high as the world is full of electronics devices that consist of microcontrollers, microprocessors, etc. To design these chips or integrated circuits the VLSI engineers are required. Over the years there has been an increased demand for skilled VLSI engineers at IC design companies. This is due to the tremendous advances in AI, EV, and smartphone technologies, all of which rely on smart ICs. Chip design and manufacturing are collectively called VLSI design where VLSI stands for Very-Large-Scale-Integration.
The objective of the course is to give students solid introductory knowledge on VLSI design and the application of these concepts. This course is expected to be a very comprehensive supplement to course on Analog Circuits and can be instrumental in stimulating interest and developing aptitude among the participants. Open source simulation platforms like PSPICE or LT-SPICE will be used, so that all participants can carry out the simulations described in the course. This course can be very useful for UG as well as PG students, along with research scholars in the initial phases of their PhD study and course work.
