One lab stack. From transistor to tape-out literacy.
VLSI courses, microelectronics departments, and research groups need the same thread: design intent, verification evidence, and manufacturing awareness — without disconnected tool silos.
RTL & design workspaces
Structured projects for digital and analog blocks — hierarchy, versioning, and review discipline students can carry into industry.
Simulation & verification
Functional, timing, and power flows with job queues and evidence trails — grades and audits read from artifacts, not screenshots.
PDK & IP library access
Process design kits, standard cells, and reference IPs scoped to lab entitlements — fab rules stay attached to every exercise.
Fab & process modules
Lithography, deposition, etch, and yield literacy — connect classroom theory to how wafers actually move through a line.
Test & validation
ATE concepts, bench bring-up, and sign-off checklists — validation as a state, not a slide deck after the fact.
Research collaboration
Multi-advisor projects, shared repositories, and export-aware access for industry–academia partnerships.
Mission Control visibility
Lab leads see toolchain health, queue posture, and project lineage — leadership briefings without chasing SSH logs.
Governance & audit
Role boundaries, IP custody, and change control appropriate to fabs, funders, and accreditation reviewers.
Depth over novelty dashboards
ChipOS is sober infrastructure for programs shaping India's semiconductor talent pipeline — engineered for traceability from first RTL commit to fab-aware review.
