CODE 106772 ACADEMIC YEAR 2022/2023 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA ELETTRONICA 8732 (LM-29) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/01 TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: DIGITAL INTEGRATED ELECT. SYST TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of the course the student will be able to design basic cells for circuits in microelectronic technology (in particular CMOS) starting from the functional and behavioral specifications. In particular, the student will have learned the main elements of microelectronic design such as: basic knowledge of device manufacturing technologies, modeling, realization at the layout level (including knowledge of the design rules), circuits and construction approaches to static and dynamic and digital circuits, as well as of memory cells. An in-depth study of circuit simulation methodologies will be also pursued. TEACHING METHODS Lectures and 4 hours of practice SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction to the matter physics and semiconductor devices. Microelectronic Technologies: From Device Manufacturing to Integrated Circuits. Basic concepts of microelectronic layout: design rules, circuit examples, layout CAD tools; Behavior and modeling of the MOS transistor. Basic circuits: basic topologies and sizing of digital cells (inverters, logic gates). Dynamic circuits and memories; Analog basic building blocks. Final project assignment.
