Program Description:

This program is aligned with the India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), a key government initiative. The two-year MTech course in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design) is designed to equip graduates with the necessary expertise in microelectronics devices, VLSI circuits, and systems—skills that are vital to the electronics chip design and manufacturing sector. Beyond hands-on experience with industry-leading Electronic Design and Automation (EDA) tools, the course provides in-depth knowledge of semiconductor devices, VLSI circuit design and verification, FPGA design, and the chip fabrication process.

Focus:

The MTech in Electronics Engineering (VLSI Design) program prepares engineers to meet the semiconductor industry’s needs. The program emphasizes the critical aspects of software and hardware design and development for VLSI applications. This course emphasizes VLSI system design, verification, device modeling, testing and diagnosis of VLSI circuits, semiconductor process technology, VLSI signal processing, analog and mixed signal IC design, along with fundaments of semiconductor devices, FPGA design, fabrication, MEMS, and NEMS. The program aligns with India’s Semiconductor mission to fill the lack of trained workforce in India’s semiconductor industry.
