Hii Sir I'm Venu from Bangalore... your lectures are simply superb The way of teaching is in high level I can say you're born for semiconductors... Thankyou very much...👍
Hi Sir, Thanks for the great lectures. Best semiconductor material with clear explanation of topics. I feel like I am in your class. Could you please provide some lectures on DFT?
I don't have a full course on DFT, but I have a very nice lecture. You can access it through my faculty website: www.eng.biu.ac.il/temanad/other-vlsi-eda-lectures/ or the UA-cam link is: ua-cam.com/video/P21K-Db4VWU/v-deo.html
Sir i am an electronics engineer i was unable to learn this in university due to covid pandemic now i want to learn chip desiging from scratch from where should i start
I think you're starting at a great place! My lectures are meant to democratize this field as much as possible. I have been providing them on public domain exactly because I found that the openly available material was very limited and lacking. I suggest to check out all the material I have uploaded on the EnICS Labs website enicslabs.com/education/ Note that I have much more to record and upload, but I have very limited time. But follow my channel and you will be updated when I upload new material.
Hi. I have some lectures on writing Verilog for Synthesis (RTL) in my Digital VLSI Design (Backend) course (ua-cam.com/video/XfUOa2wudTs/v-deo.html), and I am currently creating a lecture series on Hardware for Deep Learning, which is more at the architectural level (ua-cam.com/play/PLZU5hLL_713wXlIeer4vZmvzfE_FoCkIP.html). But I am not currently working on a Front End course. Maybe in the future...
i want to ask a question I now study electrical engineering with applied physics especially in the micro electronics parts can that get me a job in tsmc or intel company witch I can manufacture processors or other hardware components on the (the package ) ? or do i need to turn into the nano electronic study witch I had to get a lot more chemical related subjects to get a job like that ?
Hi Mohammad, I believe that for ASIC design, electrical engineering or computer engineering are the proper track of study. To work in the fab (which could be at TSMC or Intel), then materials engineering (nanotechnology) would be more appropriate.
Hi Surabh. Indeed, I actually have an entire lecture about packaging - including flip chips - in my Digital VLSI Design (backend) lecture series (ua-cam.com/video/O2Od1Tey-Jo/v-deo.html). I think you'll find your answer in this video.
Hi Saurabh, the same link still works for me: ua-cam.com/video/O2Od1Tey-Jo/v-deo.html You can also go to the direct links to all my lectures which you can find on my website: www.eng.biu.ac.il/temanad/teaching/
Yes, thank you for pointing that out. Indeed, TI does do some manufacturing in-house, and used to (several decades ago) fabricate all their chips in-house. That said, they are not one of the mainstream foundries that fabless companies usually tape out in, and for sure not making advanced nodes in their fabs, but rather specialty "More than Moore" technologies and older, very mature nodes. The reason I put them in the chip design category (and didn't point them out as a foundry) is that TI still has a large chip design operation that tapes out in advanced nodes using external foundries, such as TSMC.
To cut down costs, sometimes, these big companies use other smaller companies for the designing work, and then sometimes these smaller companies again use a VLSI engineer residing in a 3rd world country so they can cut down costs as well. I can tell cause I worked as a layout guy as 3rd party.
Indeed, this is common practice. There are many design subcontractors that can provide services for implementing various parts of the design. It is common, for example, to outsource the backend of a chip to such a subcontractor, such as Cadence's VCAD services or a company like Avnet. However, many or most "classic" chip design companies do everything in-house.
Mellanox was, indeed, a wonderful company and the CEO and founder, Eyal Waldman, is one of the brilliant entrepreneurs in the semiconductor field. I worked a lot with Mellanox and know many great engineers and managers from the company. That said, as a spectator from the side, it seems to me that the company has thrived as part of NVIDIA. While no longer being an independent Israeli company and no longer being led by Waldman, I have seen great success for the Mellanox technology inside NVIDIA, which is one of the great innovative companies and leaders in the technology field today. I think it was, in retrospect, a great benefit for both sides.
Hii Sir I'm Venu from Bangalore... your lectures are simply superb
The way of teaching is in high level
I can say you're born for semiconductors...
Thankyou very much...👍
Thank you for your appreciation!

Very good stuff man. I appreciate your work. Can you please provide more content in front side?

Hi Adam, u have explained world of chip design in interesting way....Can you please elaborate with flip chip.

Texas Instruments manufactures chips. I work at their new fab in Sherman TX

I was sad when Nvidia bought Mellanox. Mellanox was awesome but I don't like Nvidia
