efabless sponsored Physical Design workshop content If there's one image which captures the content of the upcoming efabless sponsored "Physical Design workshop using Skywater 130nm PDK", it's the one shown below. Before any sponsorship discussion, VSD and efabless make sure of the fact that the content should cater to participants who have little to no clue about chip design but eventually should be able to tapeout using SKY130. And all of this in a high-intensity, lab-based 5-day workshop format. Here's the link with registration details https://www.vlsisystemdesign.com/advanced-physical-design-using-openlane-sky130/ Thanks to efabless sponsorship, for the first time, VSD can provide more than a 55% discount on this workshop.
