VLSI Design

  • Introduction to IC technology

    Integrated Circuit (IC) technology refers to the process of fabricating millions (or even billions) of components—such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors on a single chip of silicon. ICs revolutionized electronics by enabling miniaturization, high speed, low power consumption, high reliability, and low cost per function. IC technology forms the foundation of all modern electronic systems…

  • VLSI Design Flow

    VLSI (Very-Large-Scale-Integration) design is the process of integrating millions or billions of transistors onto a single substrate. It describes the step-by-step procedure for converting a design specification into a chip layout (GDSII) ready for fabrication. It consists of a series of well-defined stages designed to ensure the chip’s operation, performance, and manufacturability. The flow diagram…
