According to an article published in the <\/span>Times of India<\/span><\/a>, Tamil Nadu is formulating a new policy that covers the manufacturing of advanced electronic products such as sensors, chipsets, and semiconductors. The miniaturization of transistors on integrated circuits (ICs) has been a defining force in the technological revolution. Very Large-scale integration (VLSI) places billions of these microscopic transistors onto a single silicon chip, enabling the creation of complex and powerful electronic devices. However, the <\/span>VLSI design course<\/span><\/a> ensure these intricate circuits function flawlessly after fabrication requires a meticulous set of guidelines called the layout design rules in VLSI.<\/span><\/p>
