Very Large Scale Integration Vlsi

In the late 1970s, a series of significant enhancements in technology further accelerated the evolution of the digital age. Graphical interfaces, networked computers and new software tools allowed to design and manufacture integrated circuits with tens of thousands of functions on one chip; a process called Very Large Scale Integration - VLSI. The structures became so complex, that for the first time computers were needed to build the next generation of even faster computers.

Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) has become a necessity rather than a specialization for electrical and computer engineers.

Deep Submicron (DSM) processes present many challenges to Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit designers. One of the greatest challenges is inter-wire crosstalk within on- and off-chip bus traces. Capacitive crosstalk in on-chip busses becomes significant with shrinking feature sizes of VLSI fabrication processes, while inductive cross-talk becomes a problem for busses with high off-chip data transfer rates. The presence of crosstalk greatly limits the speed and increases the power consumption of an IC design.
