Course Objective

This course covers basic principles of very large scale integration (VLSI). It begins with an overview of semiconductor materials. After this introduction, physical implementation of electronics devices (diode, bipolar junction transistor, MOSFET) will be introduced. It continues with integrated circuit (IC) design processes. Digital integrated circuit layout wil be examined. Design of CMOS digital integrated circuits will be presented. Digital integrated circuit simulations will be performed.
