Manipal

Design the silicon intelligence that fuels tomorrow’s technology

The M.Tech in Electronics Engineering (Microelectronics) at Manipal Institute of Technology, MAHE, Manipal builds advanced expertise in semiconductor devices, integrated circuit design, and modern electronic systems. This program introduces you to Semiconductor Device Fabrication Technology, Digital VLSI Design (Very Large Scale Integration, the process of placing millions of transistors on a single chip), Analog and RF VLSI Design (radio-frequency circuit design for wireless systems), Low Power VLSI Design, and CMOS Mixed Signal Design (combination of analog and digital circuits on a single chip). You gain the scientific depth and technical capability required for key roles in the semiconductor and electronics sectors.

Program Highlights

Industry-Integrated Curriculum: Study semiconductor fabrication, digital and analog VLSI design, and CMOS mixed signal systems aligned with semiconductor industry requirements.

Global Academic Pathway: Participate in the 1+1 program with the University of Surrey, UK, where you complete one year at MAHE and one year abroad, gaining international academic and research experience.

Advanced Semiconductor Training: Learn using industry-standard tools such as CADENCE EDA (Electronic Design Automation software used to design and test integrated circuits) and Synopsys TCAD (Technology Computer-Aided Design software for semiconductor device simulation).

Research-Oriented Learning: Build research capability through structured coursework in research methodology, technical communication, and guided research projects.

Strong Industry Connections: Secure internship opportunities with leading semiconductor companies such as Intel, NVIDIA, NXP, Qualcomm, Analog Devices, and AMD.

Access to Specialized Facilities: Work with Process Design Kits (PDKs, industry-standard files used to design semiconductor chips) and advanced simulation tools for real-world chip design and testing.

Advanced Exposure

Design and simulate semiconductor devices using Cadence, Synopsys TCAD, and 180 nm CMOS PDK with industry-standard processes.

Industry Projects

Work on collaborative projects with semiconductor companies and research labs, preparing for design and manufacturing roles.

Internships

Gain experience with companies like Intel, Qualcomm, AMD, NXP Semiconductors, and Analog Devices, with stipends of ₹20,000–₹50,000/month.

Continuation of Scholarship

The award of Fee Waiver for the subsequent years will be the same as given at the time of admission in the first year. Scholarship will be extended in the subsequent year only to those students who have cleared all subjects in the University Examinations of previous year before the due date for payment of annual program fee. Students who are promoted to next year with failures (F) / Incomplete (I) / Detention (DT) grades, will NOT be eligible for fee waiver for that academic year. Fee Waiver will be forfeited in the instances of irregularity in attendance, proven charges of indiscipline, bringing disrepute to the Department / Institution / University etc.

Withdrawal Policy

In case the candidate leaves the course before the course completion (for any reason), he / she MUST reimburse the total program fee (as per Prospectus 2025) for the years of scholarship utilized, back to MAHE Manipal.
