Design your ASIC
How does it work
You want to do your very own ASIC, great. Here are some simple steps:
- You need to attend VLSI2 and most importantly follow the exercises. They are step by step guides in making your own chip
- You can register to a ASIC semester thesis together with VLSI2 or any following semester, or even do it as part of a master thesis
- It is best if the work is done in groups of two
- At the end of the semester (or as soon as there is an opportunity) we will send the chip to fabrication
- A typical semester thesis takes 14 weeks, chips need another 15-16 weeks until they come back from manufacturing
- You can test it as part of vlsi3 or a separate project.
Why is it a good idea
- There are only very few universities you can do something like this
- This is a real project that will allow you to learn how to manage the design of complex systems in practice.
- It looks great on your CV
