Hi

At VSD, we don't just teach theory. We build careers.

We are incredibly proud to showcase the exceptional work of one of our recent students from the FinFET Circuit Design and Characterization workshop. They didn't just complete the course; they built a comprehensive, industry-grade portfolio that speaks louder than any resume ever could.

Their GitHub repo is a masterclass in 7nm FinFET design:

• Full NFET/PFET characterization (Id–Vd/Vg sweeps, transconductance, output resistance)
• Design and analysis of a FinFET inverter, complete with voltage-transfer curves and noise margins
• A fully functional bandgap reference at 7 nm—including temperature stability plots, load/line regulation, and full PVT sweeps

This is real work on the ASAP7 PDK using open-source tools like Xschem and Ngspice. This is the exact skillset that top companies like NVIDIA and AMD are searching for to power the next generation of AI accelerators and GPUs.

This repo isn't just code; it's a testament to what dedicated talent can achieve with the right training and direction. It proves that with VSD, you're not just learning—you're building a tangible, proven capability in cutting-edge technologies.

This is the standard we are setting. This is the talent we are nurturing.
