一、課程說明(Course Description)
The silicon integrated circuit is surely one of the wonders of our age. The ability to fabricate tens of millions of individual components on a chip with an area of a few centimeter square has enabled the information age. This course attempts to describe not only the manufacturing practice associated with the technologies used in silicon chip fabrication, but also the underlying scientific basis for those technologies.
