Hi, I am Dhaval from Bangalore, India.
Currently I am doing internship in Analog Design Domain at Honeywell Technology Solutions Lab, Bangalore as a part of my 2nd year M.Tech. Microelectronics. My M.Tech. will be over by May-2012. I have a job offer in VLSI company in which I have to choose between Front end Design or Back end design.
For Front end Design :
They mainly work on Verilog and System Verilog for design and verification.
For Back end Design:
It is Analog and Mixed Signal Design. They are using cadence tools or Design Compiler.
They mainly work on:
Schematic entry, layout, LVS, DRC, STA, RC Extraction etc...means full backend design flow.
So, My confusion is which one to choose. I have basic knowledge of both. Like in FE I know basic vhdl and verilog. In Back end i had done CMOS Invertor in cadence (from schematic to layout to lvs and drc).
I found back end more chellenging comparatively froent end. I mean any one who knows C/C++ very well can do FE design by using free wares but every one cant do back end design.
So, My question is that which one is better (I mean for the future perspective ).
Which field is high paying field.
Based on all you all suggestion i am going to choose my field and in mean time i will concentrate in that field.
Any inputs are highly appreciable.
Thanks & Regards,
Dhaval
