Introduction Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating
integrated circuits by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when complex semiconductor and communication technologies were being developed. The microprocessor is a VLSI device. The turn no longer as common as it once was, as chips have increased in complexity into billions of transistors.
WHAT IS VLSI ? What is VLSI? Very Large Scale Integration Defines integration level 1980s hold-over from outdated taxonomy for integration levels
Obviously influenced from frequency bands, i.e. HF, VHF, UHF
Sources disagree on what is measured (gates or transistors?)
contained 1 10 logic gates MSI Medium Scale Integration(102-103) logic functions, counters LSI Large Scale Integration(103-105) first microprocessors on the chip VLSI Very Large Scale Integration(105-107) now offers 64-bit microprocessors, complete with cache memory (L1 and often L2), floating-point arithmetic unit(s), etc.
MOORS LAW
Gordon Moore: co-founder of Intel Predicted that the number of transistors per chip
would grow exponentially (double every 18 months) Exponential improvement in technology is a natural trend:

INTEGRATION LAW OF TRENDS
CHIPS Integrated circuits consist of: A small square or rectangular die, < 1mm thick Small die: 1.5 mm x 1.5 mm => 2.25 mm2 Large die: 15 mm x 15 mm => 225 mm2
Larger die sizes mean:
More logic, memory Less volume Less yield
Dies
are made from silicon (substrate)
Substrate provides mechanical support and electrical common point
VLSI DESIGNS Manual layout design is obviously not practical Design complexity: Manually drawing layout for a billion transistors would take too long Even if we could
How to verify (test) designs for functionality, speed, power, etc.?
Complexity scales faster than actual design
How to reuse designs? How to create human-readable designs? How to speed-up design process?
These problems form a great deal of work Electronic Design Automation (EDA) a.k.a. CAD Advancing EDA technology, physical fabrication
technology, advanced designs, and IP form bulk of

CONCLUSIONS Conclusion:
This course is about using design tools to manage design complexity of VLSI systems Only way to learn tools: practice and work with tools individually Must teach IC fundamentals, but prevent course from becoming semiconductor theory, analog electronics, circuits, or digital logic course
Target large-scale integration and EDA Reach good balance between fundamental IC theory and automated large-scale design methodology
80-90% of course time will be spent in lab
Tutorials will provide basic knowledge Must learn the tools on your own (assisted by instructor)
APLLICATION VLSI is an implementation technology for electronic circuitry
- analogue or digital It is concerned with forming a pattern of interconnected switches and gates on the surface of a crystal of semiconductor Microprocessors personal computers microcontrollers Memory - DRAM / SRAM Special Purpose Processors - ASICS (CD players, DSP applications) Optical Switches Has made highly sophisticated control systems massproducable and therefore cheap
ADVANTAGES Greater Functionality Embedded Characteristics Lower System Cost Reduced Time to Market
