Course information

Language of instruction: English
Course period: VT2
Campus teaching or online teaching: Campus

Recommended prerequisites

M.Sc. education or equivalent in physics, engineering physics or electrical engineering. Basic courses in electronics, especially analog design and circuit analysis. Understanding CMOS process flows and devices, e.g. part of PhD course FTN0456 or Master course 1TE039 Semiconductor Electronics.

Learning outcomes

· Describe IC design steps, CMOS processes and nodes, chip fabrication as a business (foundry).

· Use schematic circuit tools, in particular open-source tool xschem.

· Implement analog circuits using foundry device libraries.

· Simulate analog circuits using spice, in particular open source tool ngspice in combination with xschem.

· Use circuit layout tools, in particular open-source tool magic and klayout.

· Use tools for verifications of schematics, layouts, and parasitic extraction.

· Use tools for generating and inspecting mask data to be sent to a foundry.

Learning outcomes for doctoral degree

Broad knowledge within the research area; methods of the research area.
