VSD: Leading Community Aggregator for Semiconductor and EdTech Solution
“When the best design work, great ideas is born”
Empowering Semiconductor through Online Learning
VSD pioneered the art of connecting the correct resources to the community to bring the revolution in VLSI Design process. Over last decade we have done enormous work in open source semiconductor domain via developing training content and enabling students to design silicon grade IP/SoC and also taken till tapeout cycle via Google/Efabless open shuttle program.
Master semiconductor design with hands-on courses. Build a strong foundation in digital logic, RTL, physical design, and verification for VLSI success.
This course will cover end-to-end description from basic Device Physics to Chip Design.
This course will give an eagle’s eye to every timing check that is being performed in current industries for sign-off.
Right time to move from “chip designing” to “chip planning”
VSD – Intelligent Assessment Technology (VSD-IAT) is expertly built training platform and is suited for designer requirement to offer high-intensity, lab-based RTL2GDS VLSI tapeout workshops tailored for freshers and mid-level professionals. These workshops start with basic concepts and gradually build complexity and highlight is the emphasis on using a consistent technology node, addressing common industry confusion.
Completed a comprehensive program on RISC-V on FPGA and OpenFPGA, covering design and architecture, tools for analysis and simulation, and implementing RISC-V cores on FPGA, supported by the Open-Source FPGA Foundation and industry experts. Gratitude expressed to mentors, contributors, and fellow participants, highlighting the program's goal to democratize hardware design
"The Chip Design for High School Program surpassed my expectations, offering an engaging and beneficial learning experience. The course content and teaching methods, combined with interesting lab sessions, made the program highly impactful. However, pacing the session uploads to three per week would improve the overall experience."
Successfully completed a 10-week research internship at VLSI System Design, focusing on designing a 4-Bit Asynchronous Up Counter in the Physical Design domain using open-source tools like Ngspice, Xschem, and OpenROAD. Utilized the FOSS 130 nm PDK from Google and SkyWater Technology Foundry.

Welcome to Ethical RISC-V IoT Workshop
The “Ethical RISC-V IoT Workshop” at IIIT Bangalore, organized in collaboration with VSD, is a structured, educational competition aimed at exploring real-world challenges in IoT and embedded systems. Participants progress through three stages: building an application, injecting and managing faults, and enhancing application security. The event spans from May 9 to June 15, 2024, culminating in a showcase of top innovations and an award ceremony. This hands-on hackathon emphasizes learning, testing, and securing applications in a collaborative and competitive environment.
VSDSquadron, a cutting-edge development board based on the RISC-V architecture that is fully open-source. This board presents an exceptional opportunity for individuals to learn about RISC-V and VLSI chip design utilizing only open-source tools, starting from the RTL and extending all the way to the GDSII. The possibilities for learning and advancement with this technology are limitless.
Furthermore, the RISC-V chips on these boards should be open for VLSI chip design learning, allowing you to explore PNR, standard cells, and layout design. And guess what? vsdsquadron is the perfect solution for all your needs! With its comprehensive documentation and scalable labs, thousands of students can learn and grow together.
With VSD Hardware Design Program (VSD-HDP), you have the opportunity to push the boundaries of what exist in open source and establish the new benchmark for tomorrow.
It will leverage your degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering to work with
Sounds exciting to just get started with expert mentors, doesn’t it? But we are looking for the next generation of learners, inventors, rebels, risk takers, and pioneers.
“Spend your summer working in the future !!”
