What is taught in VLSI design?

VLSI is a vast field with a lot of interdependent & co-related topics [RTL design, Functional/Physical/Timing Verification, Testing, DFT, Synthesis, Physical Design, Standard cell design etc. to name a few]. Your understanding of the field will get better with time & persistent effort.

How many transistors are in VLSI?

3. Moore’s law

Integration level Year Number of transistors in a chip
Medium‐scale integration (MSI) 1960 Between 100 and 1000
Large‐scale integration (LSI) 1970 Between 1000 and 10,000
Very large‐scale integration (VLSI) 1980 Between 10,000 and 100,000
Ultra large‐scale Integration (ULSI) 1990 Between 100,000 and 10,000,000

What is VLSI and how does it work?

An electronic circuit might consist of a CPU, ROM, RAM and other glue logic. VLSI lets IC designers add all of these into one chip. The electronics industry has achieved a phenomenal growth over the last few decades, mainly due to the rapid advances in large scale integration technologies and system design applications.

What are the current trends in VLSI?

The current cutting-edge technologies such as high resolution and low bit-rate video and cellular communications provide the end-users a marvelous amount of applications, processing power and portability. This trend is expected to grow rapidly, with very important implications on VLSI design and systems design.

What are the industry’s skill requirements to be a VLSI engineer?

What are the industry’s skill requirements to be a VLSI engineer? Though VLSI is treated as hardware design, VLSI engineers design the chips using special hardware description languages (HDL) like VHDL and Verilog, as software programmers. So you need to be well versed in an HDL. VHDL is used in India, and Verilog is common in America.

Why silicon CMOS for VLSI?

Over the past several years, Silicon CMOS technology has become the dominant fabrication process for relatively high performance and cost effective VLSI circuits. The revolutionary nature of these developments is understood by the rapid growth in which the number of transistors integrated on circuit on single chip.
