Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Design refers to the process of creating an [[Integrated Circuit|integrated circuit]] (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip. VLSI technology was conceived in the late 1970s when advanced level computer processor microchips were under development. VLSI lets IC designers add all of the components of an electronic circuit into one single chip. | Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) Design refers to the process of creating an [[Integrated Circuit|integrated circuit]] (IC) by combining thousands of transistors into a single chip.
