SSCS Bootcamp: Integrated Circuit Design with Open-Source Tools
A specialized delegation from the IEEE Universidad Distrital Student Branch participated in the "Bootcamp on Integrated Circuit Design using Open-Source Tools," organized by the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Colombia Section. Hosted at the Universidad del Quindío in Armenia, this intensive program focused on democratizing microelectronics design through theoretical and practical sessions led by industry experts.
Our members participated in the Digital Design Track, which covered the complete RTL-to-GDSII flow using open-source EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tools. The training included virtual preparatory sessions and hands-on workshops where participants explored digital synthesis, placement, and routing. This experience provided our volunteers with rare and valuable skills in chip design, a field of critical importance for the semiconductor industry. By attending this bootcamp, the branch continues to strengthen its technical capacity in advanced hardware description and digital system integration.
