No, it stands for:
VHSIC

and in this VHSIC stands for
Very High Speed Integrated Circuit.

Yes, you can create your own chips (IC's) with it, using PLD's (Programmable
Logic Devices), or more specificly: FPGA's (dunno what it stands for).
Until there were PLD's, the only way to do this (not being a big hardware
company) was using a CPU in combination with an EPROM.
PLD's are a much nicer and much more user-definable solution.
