Tips on order in which you need to learn VLSI and become a CHAMPION:

If I would had been you, I would had started with Physical Design and Physical design webinar course where I understand the entire flow first, then would have moved to CTS-1 and CTS-2 to look into details of how the clock is been built.

Then, as you all know how crosstalk impacts functioning at lower nodes, I would gone for Signal Integrity course to understand impacts of scaling and fix them. Once I do that, I would want to know how to analyze performance of my design and I would have gone for STA-1, STA-2  and Timing ECO webinar courses, respectively

Once you STA, there’s an internal curiosity which rises, and wants us to understand, what goes inside timing analysis at transistor level. To full-fill that, I would had taken Circuit design and SPICE simulations Part 1 and Part 2 courses.

And finally, to understand pre-placed cells, IP’s and STA in even more detail, I would have taken custom layout course and Library Characterization course

his voice is a bit weird, like he stutters, also subtitles are inaccurate. Also he didnt even give any intro/foundation building. Directly landed to an image of die and core. But after that, he had been explaining the rest of the content well enough.

Crystal Clear Clarity on the Subject, excellent Delivery with good Slides. Not just theory, the instructor ( if you are interested) will help with the real Chip/Design Verification and RTL2GDS Hands-ON. The videos were recoded > 8 yrs ago.. not sure if any technologies changed ( eq the algorithms that do routing etc) and the videos need a refresh

The instructor is neat in explaining the concepts, making sure the flow in understanding the physical design process is smooth and understandable.

A teacher’s main goal is to teach. If they simplified something that used to be difficult for student to understand.You are the true example of these lines. You made this course easy to understand. Upto now, my experince while learnig has been amazing. Thank you so much Kunal sir.

Best course to understand the complete flow of the chip design after hardware description using HDL.

By Krishna Priyanka Bhavaraju on 1/7/2020

Crisp,comprehensive and well paced.Will get a good theoretical understanding of netlist to GDSII flow. I loved the setup and hold timing analysis part, which has always been confusing me until now!

The course is just amazing. For freshers these lectures will help so much in both interviews and knowledge. These things will actually help in going deep in to the PD Flow. Hope the other videos like signoff, Optical lithography will be uploaded soon.

Very useful courses for a beginner in physical design track. Everything explained in a clear format and I love them. Thanks Kunal.

By Amandeep Kirpalsingh on 7/13/2016

Course was useful. We can get the basic idea of what's happening in the physical design flow. I would recommend this course for people who doesn't have any idea about physical design.

By Naveen Kumar on 7/3/2016

Clear explanation of concepts with effective presentation and short videos. Adding References (text books or literature) and tests would help to explore the concepts more. Looking forward for more courses mentioned!

It was a great experience and it is a step wise course which makes the understanding easier

All topics nicely explained with pictures. Good job!
