VLSI/Microchips Faculty
Shape the future of technology. Use advanced tools to design Very Large Scale Integration computer chips (VLSI) that drive all of today's electronic devices and systems. Design analog and digital chips with hardware description languages, analyze their timing and functionality, simulate their behavior, and create their physical layout. These methods also apply to ASIC, SoC and FPGA chips.
