Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) Circuit Design is the process of designing a large computer chip (more specifically, an integrated circuit, or IC), using computer-aided design (CAD) tools on a workstation or a personal computer (PC). The course demands learning the principles of VLSI design, designing and fabricating state of-the-art VLSI chips, understanding the complete design flow and expertise to design CMOS chips for industrial requirements. The curriculum focuses on employing hierarchical design methods and understanding the design issues at the various levels of hierarchy. Students are exposed to various design softwares in this programme. Also, they learn to design, simulate, implement and test complex digital systems using FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays). The main objectives of this course are to analyze the electrical and design characteristics of transistors and gates and to study the issues and methodologies involved in the integration of these devices into complex high-performance systems. With a large number of VLSI design houses in India and especially in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Delhi etc. both as part of big global corporates (Intel, Broadcom, Qualcomm, NXP, TI, ARM, AMD, Maxim, Synopsys, Cadence, mentor Graphics, Xilinx etc.) and Indian design teams (Wipro, Waferspace, Vayuvyalabs, Mistral,Mindtree, Tessolveand many others), there is a wide scope for VLSI engineers getting placed through internships and also directly after post-graduation. This course is approved by AICTE and Affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi Produogiki Vishwavidyalaya , Bhopal
