About This Course

In this course the students will learn how to build chips from scratch- from silicon to IC. First the students will learn about the basics of CMOS technology, build different combinational and sequential circuits using CMOS and finally learn how to fabricate them. The students will also learn how to build SRAM and DRAM devices using CMOS. They will also learn how to make the chips more power and area efficient.

The students will get to learn the basics of MOS transistor theory and their I-V characteristics. They will learn the DC response, delay, switching and dynamic power of such CMOS chips. An introduction to Verilog will also be given so that students can implement the digital systems they learned during the course.
