Joint program by SFAL and VSD
The 12-week SoC Design and Implementation course starts with 6 weeks covering semiconductor design basics like floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, optimization, and verification. Students learn everything from chip size estimation to signal integrity fixes. Following this, they choose a specialization topic, allowing for targeted learning in a specific area of interest under expert guidance.
The course then shifts to a 4-week, in-depth exploration of industry-grade concepts, led by professionals and culminating in a design project that mirrors real-world challenges. The final 2 weeks focus on professional skills, including Github documentation and internship selection, equipping students for the semiconductor industry.
This blend of foundational learning, specialization, and practical application, guided by industry experts, prepares participants for successful careers in SoC design and implementation, balancing theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
We’ve tailored every aspect of the program to ensure an effective and enjoyable learning journey:
Fresher or recently graduated or experienced professionals looking to brush fundamentals.
Atleast BE/BTech/ME/MTech or equivalent.
