What you'll learn

Integrated circuit and chip design designing is now focus of every government and countries to make them independent in IC designing and manufacturing industries. Government and industries are investing huge fund in manpower development and establishing new VLSI based manufacturing units. VLSI industries majorly requires manpower in frontend and backend design where a detailed knowledge of VLSI design fundamentals and electronic design automation (EDA) tool are required for prefabrication design, simulation, layout and testing processes. This course will be a foundation of semiconductor IC design for the students and scholars interested for getting placed in top VLSI companies with hands-on experience of EDA tools. This also provide knowledge of new circuit design topologies for performance optimization and application developments such as high-speed switching circuits, semiconductor memories and major blocks of VLSI signal processing modules.
