EE 4430: Microfabrication Process Design and Simulation using Computer Aided Design
(Dual-listed with EE 5430).
Credits: 3. Contact Hours: Lecture 3.
Prereq: EE 3320 or Graduate Standing
Commercially available design software will be used to perform simulation, analysis, and optimization of advanced integrated circuit fabrication processes. Fundamental principles of each step in the fabrication process of advanced integrated circuits, and techniques for creating and using computer models of each of these steps. Understand how abstract models of the fabrication process can be used to simulate the effects of scaling on the performance characteristics of MOS transistors and other advanced circuit technologies.
