Why RISC-V Can Be a Game Changer?
In an industry where silicon efficiency, design flexibility, and time-to-market are paramount, the limitations of proprietary processor architectures are becoming increasingly apparent. RISC-V, an open-source ISA, is reshaping the VLSI design landscape by enabling deeper hardware-software co-design, architectural customization at the RTL level, and tighter control over power, performance, and area (PPA)—without the constraints of licensing or closed specifications

Introduction to VLSI Design Flow: RTL to GDSII
Wonder why AI, modern smartphones, and countless digital devices have become so powerful yet compact? The secret lies in the ability to pack billions of transistors into tiny silicon chips — a feat accomplished through Very Large-Scale Integration (VLSI). At the core of this accomplishment is a complex, multi-step design flow that transforms abstract hardware concepts into a physical chip ready for fabrication.
