VLSI EXPERT's ChipTapeout program takes students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges through a complete chip design and fabrication cycle — RTL to GDSII to real silicon — using Synopsys EDA tools on GlobalFoundries GF180nm process. We are the first private finishing training institute in India to do this.
A tapeout is the complete journey — writing RTL, simulation, synthesis, physical design, signoff, and submitting to a foundry for fabrication. Every step done with industry-standard Synopsys tools under real design constraints.
In 3.5 months, nine students from Tier 2 and Tier 3 colleges designed a Mini Processor, taped out on GF180nm, and were recognised by Synopsys at SNUG India. No private training institute had done this before — anywhere in India.
Cohort 1 proved it is possible. Cohort 2 will go further — more students, more complex design, same commitment to real silicon. Register your interest now to be considered first.
