CMOS and Digital VLSI Design.

Catalog description

Introduction to CMOS logic gates and the design of CMOS combinational and sequential functions at the gate level, including CMOS memory. CMOS transistor theory is covered including: DC equations, threshold voltage, body effect, subthreshold region, channel length modulation, tunneling, and punch through. A basic exposure to VLSI includes: CMOS processing technology, layout, and CMOS logic design including power, delay and timing considerations. Students will use industry standard Computer Aided Design tools to verify designs and layouts.
