Required Text: Device Electronics for Integrated Circuits, 3rd edition,
by Richard S. Muller and Theodore I. Kamins, 2002,
ISBN 0-471-59398-2. Handouts and class
notes will complement the text.
Prerequisites: ECE
132, ECE 137A, and ECE 124B/120A or equivalent, or consent of the instructor.
Topics to be covered:
MOS transistors
p-n junctions and heterojunctions
Bipolar transistors / HBT’s
JFETs, HFETs
VLSI technologies
Advanced processing techniques
Course Description: There will be homework assignments, a midterm, a presentation
and laboratory work. Laboratory work will consist of designing, fabricating and
testing of something interesting such as a simple MOS circuit. You will design
the entire process sequence, simulate the expected device characteristics and
circuit performance, and compare it with your experimental results. Homework,
midterm, and laboratory project/presentation will each contribute 15%, 30%, and
55%, respectively, to the final grade. The laboratory will include a final
report and a presentation to the class.
Homework 1 – due 4/5/16 by 5:00pm (there is nothing to turn in
for this assignment)
Homework 2
– due 4/14/16 by 5:00pm
