Semiconductor engineering or very large-scale integration (VLSI) refers to the designing, implementation, production, assembly, testing, marking, and packaging of a chip as a whole. VLSI is commonly known as chip design. VLSI is a method that generates integrated circuits (ICs) – it integrates millions of transistor-based circuits into a single chip in multiple applications like computing, communication, storage, networking, digital signal processing (DSP), micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), radio frequency (RF), consumer electronics, cryptography, cryptocurrencies, automobiles, robotics, space applications, the health industry, smart buildings, and internet of things (IoT).
