One should have specialization in a particular field besides possessing
professional undergraduate degree. This invaluable experience of specialization
can be gained from reputed instituitions. Besides these, there are some private
and government recognized instituitions which offer industry oriented
professional training program in VLSI and EMBEDDED SYSTEMS.
Below is a very brief (not even entry level) discription about VLSI
VLSI is an acronym for Very Large Scale Integrated Circuit design. It is today's most
feild as every-1 is interested in this field
This technique is used to develop circuit's which can have more then 10,000 transistors on a single chip,
most of the microprocessors and other chips are based on this technology. It uses CMOS Technology for
fabrication of transistors. The first microprocessor ( intel corporation's 4 bit 4004 ) was based on the P-MOS technology, in P-MOS
the majority carrier's are the positive charge called HOLES. however since the number of holes are less therefore the mobility and
hence the speed of operation is less. due to these drawbacks the manufacturing of chips and IC's was switched to N-MOS, i.e where the
majority carriers are the negatively charged particles called the electron's since the number of electrons are large therefore the switching
speed of transistors was increased by many folds. Technology used now is C-MOS which stands for Complementary -MOS, its properties lies
in between N & P MOS hence its switching speed is greater then that of P type but less then N type.
The designing of any new hardware is done by using the design-flow as shown below...
