Engineering Tools for Microelectronics I

Catalog description

Students learn the basics of force, momentum and energy as applied to particle motion. The basics of thermodynamics with a project focus on removing heat from integrated circuit packaging. Develops waves and optics with the focus application of integrated circuit lithography. Finally, develops fundamental quantum mechanics to explain electron tunneling in thin barriers such as gate oxides in transistors. Teaches calculus, differential equations and linear algebra as needed to solve the problems at hand.
