Knowledge Goes Free - Learn About VLSI

A career in VLSI is very challenging. Not only because this career is too dynamic, but also its very research and knowledge intensive. As Moore's law predict that the integration of devices on a chip area will double every 18 months (note that he had initially predicted it to be 2 years i.e. around 33% less dynamic) it means a lot to a career in VLSI. It tells how quickly the technology changes and how we have to remain updated with the cutting edge technology.
This means the knowledge in this field is not only inevitable but also should be accessible at the right time. Especially, the knowledge related to pioneering technology and on-going research (generally available at industry research labs or classrooms of premiere universities) should get to the market quickly for techies to access and implement it. This blog has an aim to spread awareness and knowledge for the same cause and with this post we are a step ahead.
