What is VLSI ?
Ve r y - L a r g e - S c a l e I n t e g r a t i o n ( V L S I )
refers to the process of creating
integrated circuits (ICs) by combining
thousands to millions of transistors
into a single chip. This technology
revolutionized the electronics industry
by enabling the development of
compact, high-performance, and cost-
e ff e c t i v e d e v i c e s . V L S I d e s i g n
encompasses a wide range of
activities, including circuit design,
logic synthesis, physical design, and
v e r i fi c a t i o n , w h i c h a r e a l l e s s e n t i a l f o r
creating functional and reliable
semiconductor devices.
