Physical Design Training is a 4 months course (+2 months for freshers covering Device fundamentals, IC fabrication, timing concepts. advanced digital design, analog design basics, and UNIX OS) structured to enable aspiring engineers get in-depth knowledge of all aspects of Physical design flow from Netlist to GDSII including Floor planning, Placement, power planning, scan chain reordering, global routing, clock tree synthesis, power analysis and ECO. Course also involves multiple hands on projects using Synopsys Implementation flow(DC, ICC II, Star RC, PT, ICV). It is among widely used PnR flow in industry.
Physical Design training program is well illustrated and supported with real-time examples from the industry. Floorplanning, Placement and Routing, Clock Tree Synthesis, Final Routing and Timing Closure forms the core of the Physical Design Training program structure. Thorough and micro level wide understanding of the concepts across all the Physical Design flow would be the key highlight of this program. Complete Theory Sessions and complementing Lab Sessions with projects (Block level and Full chip level) from Netlist to GDSII, guided well by expert trainer are offered for every candidate of this Physical Design Training program.
Physical Design Training is supported using 15+ assignments covering all aspects physical design implementation flow including practical aspects. Assignments are detailed and well structured to cover all the aspects of Physical Design. These assignments will solved as part of course lectures. Student will have 12 months access to tool from date of course registration.

Teacher is an important part of anybody's education.
I completed my post graduation in 2005. During my school and College, I always had difficulty coping up with things in classroom. But my Telugu teacher Mr. Hussain Budde during my 7th class , I used to enjoy his way of teaching, way he used to engage students by teaching lessons as stories. After that, I never found any teacher who kept sessions so much engaging. I don't want to blame my teachers, I always felt they could make sessions more engaging. I always had to spend time outside class hours to cope up with every minute of classroom session.
I as a teacher, I adopt a style of teaching which keeps session engaging and ensures that students give 100% focus on the session. I always wanted to be that one teacher, whom my students will remember for lifetime. I am making sure that, rest of trainer's also follow same.
I want your 6 months of education at VLSIGuru to be among your best learning experiences. We at VLSIGuru will do our best to make this a memorable time.
