Abstract :
This paper presents a detailed overview of the Micro- and Nano-electronics curriculum for Bachelor´s and Master´s degree studies programs in Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VGTU). These programs focus on giving the ability and knowledge to students in designing an Integrated Circuits (ICs) using advanced EDA Tools. The Micro- and Nanoelectronics education programs cover all aspects of the IC design process: from the understanding of IC manufacturing processes and technologies to IC verification, physical design implementation and testing. Through cooperation with research institutes, industries, and governments both at home and abroad, these programs only become even stronger. These Micro- and Nano-electronics programs are designed to educate a large number of talented IC designers, to increase the number of startup companies in IC design and finally to establish a microelectronics industry ecosystem in Lithuania and in the European Union (EU).
