Foundation Module [STCD Program – Semester 1]

In this semester, students cover the core aspects of Chip Design and Technology through five key courses. The focus is on essential topics required to build a solid foundation in VLSI design.

Courses include:

• Circuit Analysis: Dive deep into analyzing circuits critical to IC design.
• Hardware Description Languages (HDL): Learn the languages used to describe the behavior of electronic circuits.
• Design Verification: Ensure that designs function correctly through comprehensive testing.
• CMOS Processing: Study the fabrication techniques of CMOS technology.
• IC Measurements Lab: Gain practical lab experience, accessible online, to make precise measurements.

Key Features:

• Live & Recorded Lectures: All classes are live-streamed with recordings available for later viewing.
• Virtual Lab Access: Perform IC measurements online from anywhere.
• Optional Campus Immersion: A 1-week immersion at IIT Bhubaneswar available during the semester break.
