Abstract:
VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) technology refers to the process of integrating thousands, or even millions, of transistors on a single microchip. This technology has revolutionized the field of microelectronics, allowing for the creation of powerful and complex computer systems that have transformed every aspect of modern life. The introduction to VLSI technology covers the basic principles of semiconductor materials, device physics, and the various processing steps involved in creating a VLSI chip. The process typically begins with the creation of a pure silicon wafer, which is then subjected to a series of doping and etching steps to create the necessary transistor structures. The various layers of the chip are then interconnected using metal wires and insulating layers, creating a functional integrated circuit.
