Abstract

Diverse ASIC programs have been established in more than 100 universities across the United States. In most schools, however, the focus is placed on full-custom VLSI rather than semicustom VLSI design. An emerging infrastructure in VLSI seems to favor the first of the two mentioned design styles. A familiarization with these types of rapid prototyping by the prospective electrical engineers is an important issue in education. A treatment of this issue is presented
