一、課程說明(Course Description)
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 characteristics of semiconductors,
operating principles of diodes and transistors, and various amplifier
configurations for both BJTs and MOSFETS. The frequency response, differential
pairs, multi-stage amplifiers are also included. By developing solid
understanding of basic knowledge, learning microelectronics could be
enjoyable.

四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
Power point handouts are used in this class together with a tablet computer
for equation derivation and additional materials. The course materials are
also recorded by the software "powercam" and uploaded in the iLMS system for
easy access and review. The iLMS system also provides an effective platform
for the interaction among the teacher, TAs, and students. A quiz is held on a
bi-weekly basis to help the students following the course schedule. The
homework is also assigned bi-weekly to let the students practice for
comprehensive understanding. The students also have the opportunity to use the
CAD tool (SPICE) for circuit
simulation and design to verify the materials learned in the class.
