Microelectronics Bootcamp: Microchip Design
The Microelectronics Bootcamp: Microchip Design was an intensive training activity organized by the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Student Branch Chapter at Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, aimed at introducing students to the fundamentals of microelectronics and ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) design.
The activity provided participants with a deeper understanding of semiconductor systems by exploring the design process from the transistor level to system-level architecture. During the session, participants were introduced to the ASIC design flow, including layout design, silicon optimization, and the use of modern electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
The program is supported by the IEEE Open Silicon Initiative, enabling selected designs to be considered for fabrication and allowing participants to validate their work in real hardware. This approach provided a unique opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical implementation in microelectronics.
The event took place on April 11th at K-Lab, Faculty of Engineering, in La Paz, Bolivia, and was targeted at undergraduate students from Universidad Mayor de San Andrés pursuing degrees related to Electronic, Mechatronics, or Electromechanical Engineering.
The activity promoted hands-on learning, encouraged interest in semiconductor technologies, and contributed to the development of local capabilities in integrated circuit design.
