VSD is ready to create New History In Open-Source Hardware Industry
4 power packed Cloud Lab Tutorials for learner and experimenters'
LIVE online conference with Experts talk on Semiconductor Workforce Development
Showcase VSD Student Community 1st Tapeout
We are excited this year to talk more about the silicon and the journey towards tapeout.The term tape-out was named so because historically a magnetic tape was used to store all the ASIC design files and this tape was then send to the foundry for manufacturing.Tape out is a major milestone in every VLSI Engineer lifecycle. It means the design phase is completed and IP is ready to send out the GDSII to the fab for production. VSD and our community has taken semiconductor trainings to next level, which is from Specs to Tapeout to Silicon, which is highly scalable and fully automated.
VSDOpen2021 will showcase
- Keynote talk from experts in the areas of VLSI and Semiconductors on how they are addressing chip design talent shortage issues
- Invited talk from Synopsys on their strategies and proactive majors for collaboration to Tapeout Programs
- SoC, EDA and IP design track by VSD students using Sky130
Date : 19 - 23 October 2021
