VLSI Basics Training Instructor

I have scheduled a short VLSI module for a class of third-year engineering students and need it to start from the ground up. The training must touch on three pillars—Digital Design, Analog Design, and a high-level view of System-on-Chip flows—always keeping explanations at a beginner’s pace. The plan is to combine theory with practice: after introducing core concepts, each topic should segue into a hands-on lab that walks students through RTL-to-GDSII using at least one EDA tool (Cadence, Synopsys, or an open-source alternative such as OpenLane). Audience • 25 students with minimal semiconductor background • Expect interactive sessions and plenty of Q&A time Delivery • Live online lectures totalling roughly 8–10 hours • Recorded walkthroughs for tool demos • Printable lab sheets so students can work offline Deliverables • Detailed syllabus with learning objectives and tool-setup steps • Slide deck (PPT or PDF) for every lecture • Lab manuals containing Verilog/VHDL samples, schematic capture tasks, and a mini SoC integration project • Pre- and post-course quizzes with answer keys • Cloud links to all session recordings Acceptance criteria 1. Content reviewed by me 48 hours before each class. 2. Labs execute on our Linux machines without requiring paid licences. 3. At course end, students complete the mini project with no more than 20 % guidance on average. Please outline the toolchain you intend to use and, if available, attach a sample of previous VLSI training material so I can gauge your teaching style.
