Let's Program the Transistors
The semiconductor industry is in turmoil once again. Intel Corporation, a major name in chipmaking, is planning to cut more than 20% of its workforce in 2025. This news has come from a Bloomberg report, which says that these layoffs are part of a major restructuring led by new CEO Lip-Bu Tan. So let’s look…

In VLSI, an SoC is an integrated circuit that contains multiple functional blocks, such as processors, memory, interfaces, and peripherals, on a single chip. The main idea behind the SoC concept is to integrate as many components as possible into a single chip to reduce the size, power consumption, and cost of the final product….
A wafer is a thin slice of semiconductor material, typically made of silicon, that serves as the substrate for the fabrication of integrated circuits in the field of VLSI. During the fabrication process, the wafer undergoes a series of processes such as doping, lithography, etching, and deposition to create the desired patterns and structures for…
“There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom“ A popular talk delivered by Richard Feynman to American Physical Society at California Institute of Technology in the year of 1959. This talk at that time could foresee the possibility of the revolution which has been brought by VLSI today. The term VLSI stands for Very Large…
