一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription)
<br>    This course is an introductory course of microelectronics. We will focus 
<br>on the fundamental knowledge of microelectronic circuits and emphasize the 
<br>design-oriented approach. This course introduces the most important concepts 
<br>for design of analog circuits such as characteristics of semiconductors, 
<br>operating principles of diodes and transistors, and various amplifier 
<br>configurations for both BJTs and MOSFETS. The frequency response, 
<br>differential 
<br>pairs, multi-stage amplifiers are also included. By developing solid 
<br>understanding of basic knowledge, learning microelectronics could be 
<br>enjoyable.

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