SIMULATION:
HSPICE , MEDICI and Layout Tools available on the EE Workstations

COURSE ASSIGNMENTS

Four homework assignments and a final report are required. Some
homework sets and the final project might required the use of SPICE, MEDICI or
other simulation tools. Three laboratory sessions in class give hand-on
experience for real device/testkey measurement operations.

GRADING:

Midterm Exam – 20%
Measurement Labs / Report (5) – 50%
Final Exam – 30%
