(December 2024) We had a succesful demo session and the groups are posting their videos and websites on the 2024 class website. Go and take a look. Many impressive chip designs.
(June 2024) We taped-out our Spring 2024 class projects!! Three PPG chips, an ECG chip, an AM radio, a potentiostat, a sensor readout, a radar baseband, an NPU and last but not least, a RISC-V processor have been sent out for fabrication. Congratulations to all teams for completing their tape-out and many thanks to the teaching assistants for all their help and dedicated mentorship.

Intro
The EE6350 VLSI Design Lab is a graduate course that focuses on the design, simulation, layout, verification and tape-out of an IC design. An industrial sponsor is sponsoring the fabrication of the chips in a 65nm CMOS foundry technology. The foundry will fabricate the chips that students subsequently test in the Fall.
Overview Video and Article
The Engineering School made a video about the demo session for the 2022 class and an article was published in the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine describing the goals, approach and organization of the class:
