Introduction

The objective of the course is to provide learners with a basic understanding of the integrated-circuit (IC) devices, namely the bipolar transistor and MOSFET. Some second order transistors’ effects will be discussed. The basic silicon devices processes, BiCMOS devices that is used in niche areas of digital IC design, will be discussed. The issues of low voltage and low power, as well as the sensitivity analyses of BiCMOS digital circuits will all be presented.

This course is part of:

- Graduate Certificate in Electronics
- FlexiMasters in Electronics
