Supervisor:

Department of Microelectronics

Synopsis:

Chips are almost everywhere in our daily lives and become the most important strategic products in most of the countries. The main focus of the course is to help students get broad understanding about analog IC design, development and applications. The lectures and exercises are arranged for students to gather good design and layout skills to join semiconductor industry. The students will be able to have their designed chips fabricated through the help of Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI).
