B. Tech (VLSI Design and Technology)
The B.Tech. VLSI Design and Technology program offered by UPES School of Advanced
Engineering is designed to equip students with essential knowledge and skills in the field of
microelectronics, focusing on the fabrication and design of next-generation integrated circuits
and chips. The course emphasizes the significance of low-power chip design, a crucial aspect
given the demand for high-performance computing, fast switching, and memory-efficient
devices in today's technology landscape.
Throughout the program, students will delve into various aspects of microelectronics,
including ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) and Complementary Metal-Oxide-
Semiconductor (CMOS) manufacturing methodologies. These methodologies offer a unique
platform for graduates to engage the optimal chip design, simulation, and synthesis,
ultimately leading to the development of 'ready-to-manufacture' chips. By exploring these
cutting-edge techniques, students will gain hands-on experience and a deep understanding of
the entire chip fabrication process, from design conceptualization to final production.
Upon successful completion of the B.Tech. VLSI Design and Technology program,
graduates will be well-prepared to tackle the challenges of the semiconductor industry and
contribute to advancements in integrated circuit technology. They will possess the expertise
required to design energy-efficient chips that cater to the growing demands of various sectors,
such as telecommunications, healthcare, artificial intelligence, and more. This program offers
an excellent opportunity for aspiring engineers to be at the forefront of microelectronics
innovation and contribute to the development of groundbreaking technologies that shape the
future.
