EGE 301 - Microelectronics3 Credits
Offered Fall
Formerly EGRE 301. Students taking microelectronics have already completed courses in circuit theory. Microelectronics develops the basic understanding of active semiconductor devices. The course focuses on building the understanding of BJT and MOS devices. The topic covered include semiconductor physics, modeling of microelectronics devices, analysis, and design of electric circuits with nonlinear elements. This course prepares students to take courses in VLSI, IC design, and Power electronics. Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are utilized to facilitate learning and implementation. During the lab, students will apply their knowledge from lectures to design and build practical circuits. Students will be required to construct integrated circuits combined with discrete electrical components to create analog circuits or mixed-signal circuits. Troubleshooting techniques as well as hands-on usage of test equipment will be emphasized.
Prerequisite(s)/Restriction(s): EGE 201 - Circuits I
Corequisite(s): Students must register for a section of EGE 301L - Microelectronics Lab with this course.
