Physical Design Course – SilicaLaunch

Launch Your VLSI Career with Hands - On Physical Design Training

At SilicaLaunch, we equip you with the skills the semiconductor industry demands – through hands-on learning, expert mentorship, and real-world projects.

If someone wants to move from knowing the flow to owning the flow, this is where the transformation starts.

You don’t learn tapeout. You survive it.

That belief is why we built SilicaLaunch.

Not as another VLSI course.
Not as slides and certifications.

But as a pressure-tested, execution-first tapeout environment.

What This Means in Practice:

Real Physical Design work

Heavy TCL scripting

Daily written tests

Daily design reviews

Mentor-led signoffs

No shortcuts. No spoon-feeding.

Industry Reality Alignment

Your scripts must work

No debug loops. No manual fixes. Production-grade automation only.

Your timing must close

Zero WNS. Zero hold violations. Signoff-clean or start over.

Your logic must survive review

Defend every decision with data. No weak justifications.
