Dr. Abhishek Srivastava’s research group at IC~WiBES Lab, CVEST breaks the barrier! IIITH achieved a significant milestone by successfully designing and fabricating a test chip for the first time in 25 years. The main IC designers are MS students at CVEST — Arpit Sahani, Srayan Sankar Chatterjee, Pranjal Mahajan, Anushka Tripathi, and Deeksha. The process of chip design and tape-out marks a crucial step in transitioning from theoretical designs to a manufacturable product, significantly advancing the institute’s technological capabilities. It’s crucial for bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation, enabling students and researchers to innovate, publish significant findings, and prepare for high-impact careers in the semiconductor industry.
