VLSI Design

VLSI design has become a major driving force in modern technology. It provides the basis for computing and telecommunications, and the field continues to grow at an amazing pace. The field of VLSI design is a resource-intense engineering discipline. Project and product definitions are economically motivated, and competition on a worldwide basis is very keen. The market potential for innovative designs is very large, but the market wise often short due to both competitions and changing consumer demands. The microscopic dimensions of current silicon integrated circuitry make possible the design of digital circuits, which may be very complex and yet extremely economical in space, power requirements and cost, and potentially very fast. The space power and cost aspects have made silicon the dominant fabrication technology for electronics in very wide ranging areas of application. The combination of complexity and speed is finding ready applications for VLSI systems in digital processing and particularly in those application areas requiring sophisticated high speed digital processing.
