About SkillChip
SkillChip brings together expert VLSI training, a strong electronics foundation, and the experience of industry faculty. We help learners connect what they study with the decisions and workflows behind semiconductor design.
Our purpose
Learning VLSI means more than remembering a sequence of tool commands. It means understanding why a design choice matters, how different stages connect, and what to look for when a result needs investigation.
Our approach brings fundamentals, practical concepts, and industry context together. We aim to help electronics students, graduates, and aspiring VLSI engineers develop a clear, structured understanding of their chosen specialisation.
Academic depth. Practical direction.
SkillChip’s founder is an expert VLSI trainer with an M.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE). This combination of technical education and training expertise shapes our focus on clear explanations, sound fundamentals, and a logical learning path.
We believe a useful explanation should help you understand both the process and its purpose. Our learning approach connects individual topics with the broader chip development flow, so concepts become part of a working understanding rather than isolated facts.
Learn from industry experience
Our team includes expert industry faculty with 10+ years of experience working at leading technology companies. They bring professional context to the classroom, helping learners see how technical concepts relate to engineering workflows and problem-solving.
Build a foundation in the concepts behind the workflow, so each new topic has a clear place in your learning.
Explore how design, verification, and testing concepts fit into the semiconductor development process.
Use the hands-on learning and projects in your course to connect explanations with practical tasks.
Follow structured modules and revisit the fundamentals as the topics become more detailed.
Our core learning areas
Our core courses cover complementary parts of the chip development process. Choose the area that aligns with your interests and technical background.
Explore the RTL-to-GDSII implementation flow, including floorplanning, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, and static timing analysis.
Develop your understanding of RTL design and functional verification, and how engineers check that a design behaves as intended.
Learn about scan, automatic test pattern generation (ATPG), and test architecture, and their role in preparing chips for manufacturing test.
Choose how you learn
Study through structured classes with opportunities to ask questions and discuss concepts with an instructor.
Learn through recorded lessons and structured modules, with time to pause and revisit topics at your own pace.
