November, 2014.
Course Outline
This short course is designed to give a sound knowledge in the
design flow of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) of circuits
which will be useful for introducing VLSI circuit design based
courses of undergraduate and postgraduate levels in different
universities of OIC member states. A tentative outline of the key
topics of the course is given below:
Starting at an introductory level, the course covers fundamental
aspects of device structure, operation and modeling; fabrication
techniques to realize nanometer scale devices; using basic
devices such as field effect transistor (FET) to design basic gates,
introduction to circuit simulation and layout design tools and
using these tools to design more complex systems. Brief idea
about high level synthesis using hardware description languages
(HDL) and field programmable gate array (FPGA) will be given.
Practical demonstration of some example designs will be shown
to familiarize the participants with the use of different design
tools.
Numerous electronic gadgets such as mobile phones and
laptops have become part and parcel of modern human life.
From consumer’s point of view, there is an ever increasing
demand for accommodating more functionality in smaller
volume. From designer’s point of view, this implies
miniaturization of electronic circuits. Miniaturization introduces
newer challenges which must be dealt with for commercial
realization of a product. On one hand, making of nanometer
scale circuits is difficult due to physical limitations involved in
the fabrication process steps. On the other hand, designing
such small circuits requires proper modeling of the devices and
sophisticated software and hardware tools. In developed
countries, design and synthesis of integrated circuits (IC) have
evolved into a highly advanced and challenging field.
Unfortunately, in developing countries the universities often
cannot afford the tools needed to teach this extremely
advanced topic. No support from the industry is available
either since generally there is no industry in this field due to the
requirement of expensive investment and unavailability of
expert manpower. Therefore, students graduating from the
engineering/science field in these countries remain ignorant
about this interesting topic. A common trend among
meritorious students of these countries is to go to
technologically advanced countries for postgraduate studies.
These students are afraid of pursuing higher education in the
VLSI circuit design field due to lack of basic knowledge.
Hence, they cannot contribute in the field after coming back
to their respective countries.
The principal objective of the short course is to give the
participants a basic knowledge about theories behind VLSI
circuit design which will be useful for acquiring more in-depth
knowledge on their own. In addition, introduction to different
easily available tools will be given. Resource persons from
different universities will deliver lectures. This will provide a
platform for the participants to interact with them. In addition,
all the lecture materials will be provided to the participants
which will serve as a valuable reference after the short course.

Every year Islamic University of Technology (IUT) arranges
intensive short courses to support the social and economic
elevation of OIC member states. The aim of these short courses is
to develop human resources in different branches of science,
engineering and technical educations. Expert resource persons
from renowned institutions of OIC member states as well as from
different parts of the world share their valuable knowledge in the
short courses. With the above aim, the Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (EEE) Department of IUT is going to organize a short
course in 2014. The title of the course is “From Devices to Circuits
and Systems: the Complete Design Methodology”.
Participants
Course Objective
The maximum number of participants is 40. The
participants are requested to send their nominations
through the member states or their organizations. They
need to have at least Bachelors degree in the field of
electrical/electronic/computer engineering or applied
physics. The course is suitable for faculty members in
technical universities/institutions who are thinking about
introducing
undergraduate/postgraduate
courses
and/or conducting postgraduate research in the VLSI
field. Existing faculty members in the same field are also
welcome.
Medium of Instruction
The medium of instruction will be English.
Venue
Organized by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE)
Introduction
The short course will be held in the premises of beautiful
campus of Islamic University of Technology (IUT) at Board
Bazar, Gazipur, Bangladesh, about 13km north from the
international
airport
of
Bangladesh.
Additional
information about IUT campus is available at the website
<www.iutoic‐dhaka.edu>.
Facilities
IUT will provide hospitality to all participants including
transport for the expatriates. The participants will be
provided with furnished accommodation and food at
IUT campus. All other expenses have to be borne by the
participants themselves or their nominating authority.
Travel grant (direct economy fare) may be available for
expatriate participants from the least developing
countries on request and subject to the availability of
fund from Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI).
