*課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>In this course, you will learn the basics of IC designs, especially the transitor-level and cell-based designs. You will also get familiar with the IC-related CAD tools (design, simulation, layout, RC-extraction) after finishing all the assigned homeworks and project.
