PhD, VLSI and Circuit Design, Purdue University
Dept. Electrical Engineering & Program on Integrated Circuit Design, NCKU
Area: IC Design/Electrical Engineering
Offered by PICD: Program on Integrated Circuit Design

Course A: Digital IC Design and Synthesis (3 credits)
The next-generation electronic system will have billions of transistors on a chip. To design such a complex system, designers must understand system design issues to cope with this daunting task. The course targets senior undergraduate or fresh graduate students to provide adequate background for designing a moderate-size system and emphasizes the balance between theory and hands-on. Upon completing this course, you shall have a. This course will teach you 1) VLSI system design flow, 2) primary EDA tools, and 3) moderate-size HDL coding.
