Silicon-Based Heterostructure Devices and Circuits
Theory and design of novel silicon-germanium microelectronic devices and circuits. Materials, device physics, fabrication, measurement, circuit design, and system applications.
Large-scale analog computation for sensory and motor processing. Analog
building blocks are presented, leading to VLSI systems inspired by
neurobiological architectures and computational paradigms.
Wireless system specifications are translated to architectures and building
blocks compatible with silicon technology. The course focuses on the
analysis and design of these blocks.
Detailed analysis of the operaration and design of high performance MOS
digital integrated circuits. Emphasis is on current design techniques
with examples from the literature.
