Microelectronics Circuits and Analogue Devices
Ever since the 1950s, the importance of electronic devices in everyday life is constantly increasing. Having a deep understanding of the inner working of the individual devices is of utmost importance to appreciate the complexity behind every electronic circuit, be it analogue or digital, and what are the constraints and trade-offs required when designing them.
This course, aimed at students with a scientific background, will look at the peculiar characteristics that make semi-conductors in general (and silicon in particular) so attractive. These same properties are exploited to create individual transistors, that are then combined to form electronic circuits used to run everything from a calculator to a rocket.
