CMOS Integrated Circuit Design

Catalog description

(cross-leveled with ECE 7610 ). Investigates the behavior of microelectronic devices in digital circuits and helps the students develop an understanding of the relationship between the device physics and the device static and dynamic characteristics; short-channel effects in scaled-down transistors; scaling laws; VLSI fabrication technologies; design and layout of digital integrated circuits. Includes laboratory assignments emphasizing computer aids in VLSI design; schematic capture, circuit simulation, and layout of custom integrated circuits. Credit Hour s : 3 Prerequisites: ECE 3610
