Course description

Learn the internal structure and operation principle of an integrated circuit (LSI: Large Scale Integrated circuit). Especially, taking CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Silicon) digital integrated circuit, which is mainstream in CPU and multimedia processing LSI etc, as an example, acquire knowledge on overall design of integrated circuits.

Purpose of class

Learn the internal structure and operation mechanism of the integrated circuit (LSI) forming the core of modern electronic information equipment and understand how information processing is done.

Goals and objectives

To understand the basic structure of CMOS circuit
To be able to understand the mechanism of CMOS circuit operation
To acquire basic knowledge on the design and manufacturing methods of integrated circuits
