VLSI Design and Reliability Certificate

Modern integrated circuits and systems are used in a variety of mission-critical applications, such as health care, finance, automotive, and defense. It is critical that such systems be free from defects or be able to detect and manage any errors that may occur. As a result, industry spends significant resources on the design, fault tolerance, and testing both at manufacturing and in the field for these circuits and systems. This certificate includes courses that provide the student with a background in many topics critical to these areas.
