VLSI Projects

Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) describes about the semiconductor integrated circuits which are composed of hundreds of thousands of transistors in a chip. It provides high computational speed with minimum power dissipation, minimum chip area and lower cost. Frontend and Backend domain contains all the design steps of a VLSI chip from system level to layout level. SiliconMentor is the innovative technical group that works in both domains to cover the vast field of VLSI. According to the MRD, a new VLSI chip idea built up for the people requirements. This idea propagates to Frontend technical teams and they start implementation of the project using HDLs. They design RTL level and logic level of the required project. After that Frontend verification is required to check the design specifications using System Verilog. If it passes all the verification successfully then the project further propagates to the Backend group. They perform their task from circuit level to the layout level using various tools such as Cadence Virtuoso, Tanner, and ADS etc.  And verification at backend level is also required to check that specifications. So according to requirements, we have various VLSI project domains such as Digital, Analog VLSI projects, DSP VLSI projects , Communication VLSI projects  and FPGA in  Frontend and Backend projects. SiliconMentor project guidance covers Verilog and System Verilog language, tools like Model_sim, Questa_sim, Xilinx ISE, MATLAB Simulink, Tanner (S-edit, L-edit), ADS, H-Spice, P-Spice, Cadence Orcad and Micro wind. SiliconMentor also works at sub-device level using COMSOL Multiphysics.

M.tech Projects

SiliconMentor is the only organization in the northern India providing guidance in backend VLSI projects as well as frontend projects and in various domains of electronics such as Antenna, DSP, MATLAB, Analog Electronics, Mix-Mode, Ultra low Power VLSI, RTL Designing, Image Processing, Video processing, CMOS based Digital Circuit Design, Memory, Mixed Mode Signal, Antenna, Electrical, Control System, Power System, Wireless Sensor Network.

SiliconMentor aspires the M.tech students in their research project and thesis preparation. We support the students from the initial point i.e. literature review to the final publication of the research paper. The methodology for the project includes literature review, paper implementation, research approach and publication of at least two papers in national and international journals i.e. a review paper and the research paper.

6 months industrial internship/training

The field of electronics and communication includes two vast domains which are complete and integrate different disciplines like electronics design, Integrated circuit design, automation, robotics, mobile communication, microwave engineering, RF engineering etc., such a multiplicity in these domains provides a bunch of career options to the students pursuing course in this field. With this much choices and opportunities any one can get a better job and a stable career.

But, the facts are different. A report in a national daily says,”75 percent engineering students in India are unemployable”. The reason behind the situation is the absence of the required skill-set for being employable. Students lack the skills and knowledge they are expected to acquire during their academic course even after practical sessions in college labs and non-customized industrial trainings.

One should think twice before applying for industrial internship or industrial training course keeping in mind that the motive behind training is to “impart practical knowledge, know-how of the industry, work ethics and most importantly the skills required to the trainees”.

Choosing the right place for internship is crucial as it is an opportunity to engage with the profession to which the student aspire in a realistic work environment they also appreciate and understand the practical application of their academic program and work with professional mentors and begin to build networks within their profession.

So, with a proper internship he or she is trained to be job-ready, even before completion of the course, thus increasing the student’s employment prospects.00A0

VLSI training in India

There are many institutes and companies providing training and project guidance in VLSI domain of electronics field. But somehow they leave students in lurch and the electronics student get diverted from their goal and they consider the VLSI domain to be a level harder than their reach. For getting trained in the conceptual filed like VLSI one need to get a peculiar and sharp mindset so that student can choose a particular training institute of VLSI or a VLSI training company. The VLSI field is so much vast as it includes Frontent (Design And Verification), Backend ( Physical Design and Floorplanning), Analog electronics, Rf signals, Mix-mode etc. So nobody wants to put hands in this technology but still there are some institutes or companies standing still to provide training and guidance to the ECE students. VLSI training companies in India are trying to put forward their hands in bringing back the hardware skillsets above the software countries.

VLSI M.tech Projects

Electronic B.Tech graduate students opt for the M.tech or higher studies only if they have a will to do a research in a particular field or they are intellectually challenged by the technology. There are several domains in which they can pursue their M.tech and higher studies. One of the domain from them is the VLSI (very large scale integration). 

The VLSI domain includes core concepts like semiconductor physics and analog electronics which itself is a challenge for the students and the next hurdle in this domain is the research project i.e. the students are required to do IEEE m.tech research project in their final year of post-graduation.  Such students can not get a way to tackle the problems at their own. They are needed to get a technical guidance and support related to their projects. Some of the students go for frontend (Design and Verification) VLSI projects while a few show interest in Backend projects (Physical Design).

There are a countable number of entities or organizations which provides a depth training on tools and concepts of VLSI. SiliconMentor is an idol stepping stone in entire north India which aims to aspire the students in core VLSI technology and believes in delivering a beneath the concepts knowledge to the students and stands for the VLSI M.tech students as a supporting hand. They provide us with the great hands on tools and knowledge transfer.

What is the importance of training in VLSI?

There have been recent doubts and questions about why a fresh engineering graduate and sometimes even experienced engineers have to undergo a paid training/project implementation to be able to land up/shift to a coveted job in core VLSI and closely associated domains like embedded?

Let us try to answer this dilemma/confusion arising in the nubile minds of fresh engineering graduates/recent pass outs.

See we should accept the fact that there exists a huge gap of practical knowledge/hands on expertise between the industry and the academia. This is due to the undeniable fact that what is taught at college level is obsolete or too fundamental to be actually of any help while working at the industry level, whereas the industry expects that whatever manpower they are about to hire will be well versed with the basic concepts and some knowledge about relevant tools and that's the reason we have taken this initiative.

Another point to ponder is that in southern part of India, there are some good VLSI centric academic hubs but in this aspect northern India mainly Delhi/NCR is lacking way behind, irrespective of emergence of sizeable VLSI design industry especially in Delhi/NCR. The number of engineering institutions that have mushroomed in northern part of India in the last 10-12 years is phenomenal. Students passing from those colleges are not aware where should go if they want to take VLSI domain as their preferred carer as they and their parents are reluctant to send them to Bangalore etc.

It has been observed that there are some efforts to provide VLSI training in Delhi/NCR but they are focussing only on specific domain- Frontend (mainly design and verification modelling and coding), which equates to showing only one face of the coin and thus misses out on a comprehensive approach, that is a must for turning out industry ready VLSI skilled manpower. So, after analysing the ground realities we decided to kick start initiatives to provide comprehensive VLSI training targeted for engineering students and in fact related academic institutions in Delhi/NCR region.
