Course Overview

Physical Design Training is a 6.5 months course focused on all the aspects of VLSI starting from Device fundamentals, IC fabrication, timing concepts. advanced digital design, Linux OS, TCL scripting and entire VLSI backend flow.

Course is structured to enable students gain in-depth knowledge of all aspects of Physical design flow from Netlist to GDSII including Floor planning, Placement, power planning, scan chain reordering, global routing, clock tree synthesis, power analysis and ECO. 

Course also includes multiple hands on projects using Synopsys Implementation flow(DC, ICC II, Star RC, PT, ICV).

Physical Design training program is well illustrated and supported with real-time examples from the industry. 

Floor planning, Placement and Routing, Clock Tree Synthesis, Final Routing and Timing Closure forms the core of the Physical Design Training program structure. 

Thorough and micro level wide understanding of the concepts across all the Physical Design flow would be the key highlight of this program. Complete Theory Sessions and complementing Lab Sessions with projects (Block level and Full chip level) from Netlist to GDSII, guided well by expert trainer are offered for every candidate of this Physical Design Training program.

Physical Design Training also includes 40+ assignments covering all aspects physical design implementation flow including practical aspects. Assignments are detailed and well structured to cover all the aspects of Physical Design. These assignments will solved as part of course lectures. 

Golden Barrel Institute is setup in 2012, helped 10000+ students find right career opportunities. Golden Barrel offers affordable Physical Design Training in Bangalore. Online Physical Design Training is offered for students based out of Bangalore.

  • Most of the times, reasoning for any institute to charge higher fee(excess of 1 lakh) is tool cost is high. It is not true.
  • Golden Barrel believes in creating an educational model that is affordable and sustainable in the long run. We have been running successfully since we started training in 2012 with 3500+ students trained so far. We take pride in the fact that, it is Golden Barrel which made other institutes also to offer courses in 30K to 50K range, otherwise it used to be much higher.
  • Institute owns the office facility, hence we avoid rental expense. Keeping it aside, we also find it difficult to comprehend why course fee should be in excess of 1 Lakh.

  • Good understanding VLSI Technology basics(CMOS, FinFET, etc)
  • Digital design concepts

  • Each session of course is recorded, missed session videos will be shared
  • Yes, You will have option to view the recorded videos of course for the sessions missed
  • You will have option to repeat the course any time in next 1 year
