VLSI Design

We at NIST have a very small VLSI group who basically works on the designing and modeling of VLSI Circuits and do some interesting research work on VLSI Technology. Our VLSI lab is well equipped with all EDA tools such as

1. OrCAD PSpice for Analog/Digital Circuit Design, Simulation, capacitance extraction etc.
2. Xilinx FPGA for Digital System/Subsystem Design
3. FPGA Advantage and Aldec for VHDL/Verilog
4. Tanner Tool for designing of the circuit from Schematic to Layout, LVS test and Capacitance Extraction.

The VLSI group here gives two elective courses on VLSI Technology and VLSI Design in 7^th and 8^th Semester respectively. The group gives Summer Training to students and industry people in Electronic Design Automation Software Tools for VLSI/ASIC Design.

The research work of VLSI group is mainly on Device Modeling, Creation of Library for different EDA tools, and Fault tolerance and testing. Modeling of two-dimensional MOS devices to use in VLSI circuits is one of the core area of research here. We concentrate mainly on the creation of Library for high-frequency devices, which are yet to incorporate in software such as in PSPice. Fault tolerance and testing of Digital Circuits using BDD and OBDD is another one area of research here. Dr. Ajit Kumar Panda who has done a number of courses/training on VLSI Courses heads the group. The group is receiving research fund from Department of Science and Technology, Government of India and University Grant Commission, India. A number of students are doing B.E. project in this area in different topics. Presently two candidates are involved in this group for pursuing their Ph.D. degree. Faculty/Staff involved in this area are :

1. Dr. A.K.Panda, Ph.D., PDF (University of Michigan)
2. Mr. M. Suresh, M.Tech in VLSI (Jadavpur University)
3. Mr. Susant Das, M. Tech in VLSI (IIT, Delhi)
4. Mrs. P. V. Rajeswari, M. Tech in Microelectronics (IT, BHU)
5. Mr. Manash Das, B.E. in electronics and Electrical (NIST)
6. Mr. R.K. Dash, Diploma in electronics engineering
7. Mr. D. Khadanga, Part-time Research Scholar
8. Mr. Deepu Mishra, Research Scholar
