Best course for semi-conductor and chipset

These courses are not very common but there are some places where such specialised trainings are given. Some of them are -

1. Maven Silicon, Bangalore - They have an internship program in the area of semiconductor especially in very large scale integration and that would impart knowledge in designing and testing of the semiconductor circuits and assemblies.

2. Vector India, Hyderabad - They have branches in Bangalore and Chennai. They also impart various trainings in Semiconductor area.

3. Sinhgad Institute of Technology, Lonawala, Pune - They have some short term courses in this area and they have industry affiliation also. They have a sister concern as S. M. Technologies Pvt Ltd., Nagpur.

The job potential after such courses is limited as only the semiconductor manufacturer or design & testing agencies would higher such qualified people but seeing its importance in the industry one can try for this career line also.

1. Department of Electrical Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, is offering a short term certificate course on Semiconductor Technology and Manufacturing.

2.RiseTime Semiconductors Pvt Ltd, Hyderabad.

3.Neoschip Semiconductors, Bangalore.

4. AdventSilicon Systems, Hyderabad.

5. MosChip Institute of Silicon Systems, Hyderabad.

In order to have the specialised training in semi conductor technology in India, there are some established institutions offering you the best output in semiconductor and chipsets. You may refer to following Institutes -
1) NCO Chips and Semiconductor, Marathalli, Bengaluru- This would prove an ideal institute for getting extensive training in both chips and semiconductors. The faculties are working professionals from the industries having sufficient length of experience and can provide you better training in the different modules of the related electronics.
2) IIT Mumbai - IIT Mumbai has initiated short term course duration of which is maximum of six months. The course formulated by the expert of the Institute would provide the fundamental and concepts of semi conductors manufacturing along with the industry experts deployed in various chip companies such as Samsung, Philips etc.
3) Nano Scientific Research Centre, Hyderabad - It would be a right plateform to have VLSI training since apart from teaching, you will have practical exposure essential prior to joining in any microchips company.
4) Maven Silicon, Bengaluru- It is the leading institution offering the advanced course of VLSI and in course of training, the aspirants would be able to understand the detailed tools related to semiconductor.
The course would start with an overview of VLSI and the different aspects such as SOC design, Moores Law and the difference between ASIC and FPGA would dealt with in detail.
Eligibility Criteria- ME/ M.Tech/ BE/ B. Tech or AMIE in Electronics and Communication Engineering or Electronics or Instrumentations.
Chances for absorption would multiply with the extensive training offered by these institutions.

Semiconductors also are known as Integrated Circuit ( IC ) Contain several Pathways that link millions of transistors and other electronic components. These transistors store information on the silicon wafers, a Natural Semiconductor. A Very Large Scale Integration ( VLSI ) design engineer or a chip designer design these chips using software even though the Integrated Circuit ( IC ) is hardware. The design of a chip involves programming and interfacing external circuitry to the chip, Checking both hardware and software functioning in a real-time environment and components like Digital Signal Processing ( DSP ) and Microcontrollers.

Eligibility for the course: Any student or candidate having an Electronics or Computer Science or Electrical i.e ECE/ EEE/AEI/ CSE/ IT/ Electronics/ CS/ Mechatronics and allied branches/ Electronics branches and holding a Diploma, BE or B.Tech M.E or M.Tech degree in the said field and having an interest in hardware systems designing and programming can apply for the program.
