No single individual, no single company. VLSI was just one of the steps in the process of the industry learning how to squeeze more components on each chip. It is long obsolete.
VLSI Technology was created in 1979.
VLSI Technology ended in 1999.
sum of the applications of VLSI are chip like microcontroller,microprocessor,mobile etc
VLSI Era:- Very Large Scale Integration Era
to say frankly it is still a confusion thing for me to decide vlsi is either hardware or software,but according to my opinion vlsi is both hardware and software.
how to make a chip ---- vlsi how to use a chip ---- embedded systems
i want previous vlsi question papers
VLSI is combined of both theory and derivation with more diagrams
there are a number of directionsa person can take in vlsi,and they are all closely related to each other.
If you are looking for an introductory text on algorithms for VLSI design automation, I recommend: Sabih H. Gerez, Algorithms for VLSI Design Automation, John Wiley and Sons, Chichester, (1999).
