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

<br>四、教學方式(Teaching Method)
<br>Power point handouts are used in this class together with a tablet computer for 
<br>equation derivation and additional materials. A quiz is held on a bi-weekly basis 
<br>to help the students following the course schedule. The homework is also assigned 
<br>bi-weekly. The students also have the opportunity to use the CAD tool (SPICE) for 
<br>circuit design and verify the materials learned in the class.
