一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>    This course is an introductory course of microelectronics. We will focus on the fundamental knowledge of microelectronic circuits and emphasize the design-oriented approach. This course introduces the most important concepts for design of analog circuits such as semiconductor transistors, and various amplifier configurations. The frequency response, differential pairs, multistage amplifiers, and operational amplifiers are also included. By developing solid understanding of basic knowledge, learning microelectronics could be enjoyable.

<br> 四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
<br>
<br> Power point handouts are used in this class together with a tablet computer for
<br>equation derivation and additional materials. Hardcopy of handouts will be uploaded to Moodle (http://moodle.nthu.edu.tw/) before the class for printout. Besides midterms and final, there will be four HWs for students to have a taste of circuit design and verification.
