In the previous article, Best 5 books have recommended for Physical Design Engineer. While writing that article it was very difficult to make many books out of the list. So I thought it will be better to write another article on the best 25 books for VLSI Design. This list starts from the basic level of books to the advance level of books. I have categories these books into 8 major categories.
If you wish you buy any books, I have searched the bestseller, best edition and best price of these books and linked here. You can buy these books from these links through amazon.
