Modern VLSI Design

VLSI or very-large-scale integration is a process of designing an integrated circuit (IC) by combining a large number of transistors or devices into a single chip. The microprocessor is a common example of a VLSI device. Before the advent of VLSI design, ICs performed a limited set of functions. Modern designs employ extensive automated logic synthesis and design automation to lay out the transistors. This enables higher levels of complexity in logic functionality.
