VLSI Basic

Here we are targeting the different basics of VLSI from very starting point (Digital Back ground) till understand the meaning of "What is VLSI".
I have divided the all the post in different chapters and then subsections (As per the below index).

If you think, I have missed any topic, please let me know. I will try to cover that in this section (if possible) else I will let you know by when and where It will be included.

Note: Below Index can be changed because of more detailed sections or New topics but broadly following topics will be covered.
