Why VLSI

VLSI Integrated Circuit (IC) with the latest technology can have a
million or more components in it. Designing the IC, describing the
design at different levels and the details required for fabrication,
so that the IC can be tested satisfactorily are all challenging
tasks - considering the size and complexity of ICs at this level.

The complexity implies challenges that demand talent. A career in VLSI
is rewarding as well as challenging.

VLSI expert wears many a hat. The job demands:
Sound footing in basic electronics and digital electronics
Familiarity with different processor architecture.
Capablity of carving architectures and realizing them
    through functional blocks.
