Course content
This course provides basic knowledge in integrated circuits analysis and design. It will include:
1) brief review on semiconductor devices such as diode and MOS transistor as well as
implementation of resistor, capacitor, and inductor on an integrated circuit.
2) basic integrated circuit analysis technique
3) understanding trade-offs and process variation

Note that this course is only available in a face-to-face classes.
Due to the limitation of workstations, the number of student will be limited to 8. The students will be selected based on students skill and motivation.

Students who wish to take this course should contact the lecturer in advance (see the contact address bellow).
This course may not be available to exchange students due to the term of use of software used in the class.

Evaluation method and criteria
Quiz 20 pts + exams 80 pts = 100 pts. (total point)

To earn the credits of this course, student shall:
1. Get at least 60% of the total point
2. Take both midterm and final exams

The exams might be a practical exams instead of writing ones.
In case of practical exams, students will earn 60% of the score if they can correctly design the circuit and perform adequate simulations.
