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 covers the most important concept, from physics
and models of semiconductor transistors, circuit analysis tools like frequency
response, to various amplifier configurations at transistor levels. By developing solid
understanding of basic knowledge, learning microelectronics could be enjoyable.
