Micro and Nano Devices and Circuits

Catalog description

Micro- and nanoelectronic device definition, configuration, and modeling -- including nanoelectronic circuit analysis and design. This course presents operational electronic principles of semiconductor devices (diodes and field-effect (MOS) devices) in terms of electronic transport and development of compact circuit models. Approaches and techniques to analyze and design transistor-based circuits are presented including low-swing and large-signal approaches. Exemplars are analyzed including basic amplification integrated circuits. Prerequisite(s): restricted to juniors and seniors.
