It all depends upon your interests and career goals. So, if you are interested in the basic principles of microchips and have a flair for versatile options, then Microelectronics is the way to go.
Or if you are more interested in the advanced design of complex integrated circuits and have a strong foundation in digital circuits, then VLSI suits the bill. Some of the key differences between both the courses are mentioned in the table below:
| Aspect | Microelectronics | VLSI |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Spreads and covers a range of aspects of microchip design and fabrication | Deeper into the design and realization of very large-scale integrated circuits |
| Specialisations | Analog circuits, digital circuits, mixed-signal circuits, MEMS, etc. | Digital design, physical design, verification and testing, etc. |
| Job Prospects | Varied and diverse across several fields of consumer electronics, communication, healthcare, etc. | Focused in the semiconductor industry and related industries Academic focus |
| Educational focus | Fundamentals of microelectronics, including device physics, circuit design, and fabrication processes | Advanced topics in VLSI design, such as computer-aided design (CAD) tools, low-power design, and high-performance design |
