Microelectronics Project

Project Detail: This was the first project in the area of Microelectronics in EE Department, and was funded by MHRD. It resulted in setting up of the “Microelectronics Laboratory” in the EE Annexe Ground Floor. In a sense it was the ‘mother’ of all microelectronics and VLSI based activities and projects at IIT Bombay. It was extremely successful, and established IITB as a major – even leading – player in this emerging area in the early 1980’s. It also resulted in the establishment of the M.Tech. specialization ‘Microelectronics’, which focused on both MOS devices/technology and the newly emerging VLSI design. This programme went on to become one of the most popular programmes at IIT Bombay, and its graduates were highly sought out by the emerging VLSI design companies in India.
