VLSI Blended Courses

Blended VLSI courses, have you heard of it before? It’s a new way of providing engineers with a comprehensive understanding of the design and implementation of VLSI systems considering their needs and availability. Maven Silicon provides Blended VLSI courses with placements to train aspiring VLSI engineers for the Semiconductor industry and make them ready for VLSI jobs. Engineers will learn about the various design methodologies used in VLSI, such as RTL (register-transfer level) design, logic synthesis, physical design, and ASIC verification, design for testability, and master the concepts of Verilog, System Verilog, UVM, Placement and Routing, Static Timing Analysis, MBIST, Scan insertion, etc. They will also get exposure to various EDA tools from Synopsys and Siemens Mentor used in the VLSI design flow, such as simulation, verification, and layout tools. In addition to the theoretical concepts, Maven blended courses will also include hands-on lab sessions where students will use industry-standard EDA tools to design and implement digital circuits. They will also work on a final project, where they will design and implement a more complex system, such as a RISC-V Core Processor, ARM, and BUS architecture in the course and gain experience in the design of real-world VLSI systems.

The course will be delivered in a blended format, which means that it will include both online and in-person components. Online components will include pre-recorded video lectures, readings, and quizzes, while in-person components will include lab sessions and project work. This format allows students to learn at their own pace and schedule while still benefiting from hands-on learning and interaction with their peers and instructors. This VLSI course is designed for students with a background in electronics and communication engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field. It is also suitable for professionals working in the semiconductor industry who wish to update their skills and knowledge in VLSI. Upon completion of the course, students will have a solid understanding of the design and implementation of VLSI systems and be well-prepared for careers in the semiconductor industry or for further studies in VLSI-related fields.

In addition to the technical content, the course will also include sessions on business communication and professional development. Students will learn essential skills such as resume preparation, effective presentation, mock interviews, and effective communication with clients and colleagues. These sessions will help students develop their professional communication skills and prepare them for the challenges of working in the VLSI industry.

A unique feature of this course is the inclusion of a placement component, where trainee engineers will receive multiple job opportunities from leading companies in the semiconductor industry to kickstart their careers.
