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 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, presentation, and laboratory will each contribute 15%, 30%, 15% and
40% to the final grade. The laboratory will consist of a final report and a
presentation to the class.
