backend in vlsi means transter synthesized netlist(frontend) into physical layout (GDSII file) using place and route tools, and the succeeded drc/lvs/lpe... verification
Backend in vlsi design is the physical designing i.e. design a chip from RTL or Netlist to the final routing with output data base as GDSII. All the steps like synthesis, timing optimization, chip planning, power structure, placement, clock tree synthesis, timing closure and final wire routing is done with all the DRC/LVS and antenna violations clean.
to my knowledge, backend means the process that are carried after the designing complete vlsi circuit using some software tool. In short it is chip manufacturing process.
