M.Tech VLSI Design at Amrita School of Engineering, Coimbatore Offline Course

Master of Technology (M.Tech) in VLSI Design is a two-year (4 semesters) full-time postgraduate program recognized by All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and offered by the School of Engineering, Coimbatore at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore.

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 the 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, gates and to study the issues and methodologies involved in the integration of these devices into complex high-performance systems.
