VLSI Design Demystified: How Microchips Are Designed and Built | TSA Podcast

Welcome to the TSA Podcast! In this episode, we take you on a fascinating journey into the world of microchip creation, focusing on VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration). Learn about the intricate stages of VLSI design, from managing power, timing, and signal integrity to the pivotal roles of design companies, EDA tools, and semiconductor foundries.
Discover how front-end and back-end design shape the digital and physical blueprints of a chip, leading to the critical steps of verification, post-silicon validation, and the ultimate tapeout stage. We also discuss innovative solutions like Multi-Project Wafers (MPWs) that make chip production more accessible.
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, an engineering student, or someone curious about the technology powering our devices, this episode breaks down complex concepts into engaging, easy-to-follow insights.
