VLSI Design Flow: RTL to GDS

Participants join the VLSI Design Flow: RTL to GDS course to gain a clear and practical understanding of the complete chip design lifecycle, starting from RTL design and ending with GDSII tape-out. The course helps bridge the gap between academic concepts and real-world industry workflows by explaining how each stage of VLSI design—such as synthesis, floorplanning, placement, routing, timing analysis, and verification—fits together in an actual project. It equips learners with industry-relevant knowledge and terminology, making them better prepared for VLSI internships, jobs, and advanced studies, while building confidence in understanding how modern integrated circuits are designed and manufactured.
