Intercepting VLSI Opportunities with Softe Capabilities
Webinar condected on Intercepting VLSI opportunity with Softe Capabilities by Mr.Anantharaj.It is generally interactive, with participants getting information, asking questions, and discussing in real-time
Over the years there has been an increased demand for skilled VLSI engineers at IC design companies. This is due to the huge advances in AI, EV, and smartphone technologies, all of which rely on smart ICs. Chip design and manufacturing are collectively called VLSI design where VLSI stands for Very-Large-Scale-Integration. The current technology in use is sub 10 nanometer. This enables designers to pack billions of transistors on a single IC. With large transistor densities, electronic gadgets can be made very compact yet powerful and rich in features.
Almost every electronic Hdevice we use today has chips with multi-million transistors in them. Mobile phones, televisions, medical electronic and monitoring devices, and all electronic equipment have these chips in them. Amplifiers, Sensors, Phase-Locked Loops, Processors, etc. are all VLSI designs. VLSI ICs can be classified as Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), FPGA- Field-programmable Gate arrays, and custom Analog IC’s. There are many job openings for trained ASIC engineers, FPGA designer engineers, and Analog designers, each of these areas needs a specialized skillset.
