VLSI DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY

A miniaturized electronic circuit (consisting primarily of semiconductor devices and passive components) manufactured on the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material is known as an integrated circuit, also known as an IC microcircuit microchip, silicon chip, or chip in electronics. Integrated Circuit IC, which allows for the fabrication of a large number of components on a single silicon wafer. Integrated circuits have transformed the field of electronics by being employed in practically all electronic devices. Very Large-Scale Integration began in the 1980s and continues today. Design tools improved significantly, making it possible to complete designs in a fair amount of time. Energy-efficient CMOS replaced NMOS and PMOS, resulting in a significant reduction in power usage. MOS technology is regarded as one of the most important and promising technologies in the VLSI design process. PMOS, NMOS, CMOS, and BiCMOS devices are used in circuit designs.
