Preamble

VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology has emerged as a very important technology in modern electronics featuring deep sub-micron manufacturing processes, low voltage operations, exploding speeds and smart programmable devices sufficient enough to digest ambient conditions to extremes. The electronics industry worldwide is rapidly approaching another revolutionary leap in the global market scenario. Semiconductor technology has crossed the quarter-micron threshold, making tens of millions of transistors available on a single chip equipped with the powerful arm of VLSI design. This imparts the electronics industry a potential to create designs of incredible densities and lightning speeds while utilizing batt eries to power them. This has had a phenomenal impact on widespread applications rangin g from consumer electronics, communications, and defense to just about everything.

As part of Electronics India program by Govt. of India, most of the electronic products and semiconductor ICs are planning to make in India. This skill development program in VLSI Physical design will help to generate skilled manpower in IC design and manufacturing.

Course Objectives

It is proposed to offer Diploma in VLSI Physical Design Engineer to enable new Electronics graduates/post graduates or working engineers in electronic industries to the concepts used in IC Design, which involves processing, Layout, System Design Methods using Cadence tool. The course will benefit VLSI Engineers seeking lateral shift to a back end job. Engineers looking to work for Block level Physical Design Implementation, Place and Route job domains. This will take VLSI Engineers to a new level known as Physical Design Engineer. The Physical Design Engineer is responsible for converting the circuit design to a geometric representation for manufacturing the integrated circuit (IC).

The main objective of the course is to make individuals understand the functional design of IC, converting them into geometric representation to enable Integrated Circuit manufacturing process; verifying and validating the integrated circuit layout.

During course work, each individual will get ample time to practice the theory taught in class in the lab sessions.

Course Outcome

After successful completion of the course individuals will understand the functional design of IC, converting
them into geometric representation to enable Integrated Circuit manufacturing process; verifying and validating the integrated circuit layout. The course will also help to fetch VLSI Physical Design job for job seekers in VLSI area.
