Frequently Asked Questions
Who should take this course? ▼
ASIC/VLSI design engineers targeting timing analysis roles, physical design engineers performing timing closure, fresh graduates wanting to specialize in STA, verification engineers needing timing knowledge, and CAD engineers supporting STA tool flows.
What tools will I use? ▼
Synopsys PrimeTime is the primary tool — the industry standard for sign-off timing analysis. The course also covers Cadence Tempus concepts for comparative understanding.
Is this placement-oriented? ▼
No. This is a Level 2 upskilling program. Profile referral support is available but placement assurance is not part of this program. See Foundation of VLSI Design for the placement program.
What is the prerequisite knowledge? ▼
Basic digital electronics and logic design, CMOS fundamentals, and basic Verilog/VHDL familiarity. Prior exposure to synthesis concepts and Unix/Linux is recommended.
What certificate do I get? ▼
Course completion certificate issued by VLSI EXPERT Private Limited, upon completion of labs, projects and assessments.
