Course Description
This course is an introductory course of microelectronics. We will focus onthe fundamental knowledge of microelectronic circuits and emphasize the design-oriented approach. This course introduces the most important concepts for design of analog circuits such as semiconductor diodes and transistors, and various amplifier configurations. The frequency response, differential pairs,
multistageamplifiers are also included. By developing solid understanding of basic knowledge, learning microelectronics could be enjoyable.

教學方式
Teaching Method
Power point handouts are used in this class together with a tablet computer for equation derivation and additional materials. The course materials are also recorded by the software "powercam" and uploaded in LMS system for easy access. A quiz is held on a bi-weekly basis to help the students following the course schedule. The homework is also assigned bi-weekly. The students also have the opportunity to use the CAD tool (SPICE) for circuit design and verify the materials learned in the class.
