Why VLSI imp?
Current day technology

Micro electronics creeping in all disciplines--- (merger of various


disciplines in system design)

Bio medical/ health—brain mapping, artificial intelligence

Electromechanical systems—robotics

Communication

Smart and secure homes

Identification, vehicular electronics, process control
