Kursinformation
Course information
This course aims at providing basic knowledge in modern device physcics
and analogue electronics. In particular the course aims at enabling further
studies related to analogue IC, high-speed devices and nanoelectronics.
The main theme in the course is the MOS transistor which is the main device
used in commercial applications. The course discusses the basic operation of
the MOS strucutre, its transistor architecture as well as the use of
the transistor in basic amplifier stages. The frequency dependent properties
will also be discussed in detail.
- The architecture and operation of the MOS transistor.
- How to use a small-signal model to descibe transistors and basic circuits.
- The design and analysis of amplifier circuits.
- The frequency dependent properties of active and passive devices and amplifier circuits.
Who should study this course:
- If you have a different background than electrical engineering and is interested in more in-depth studies
of semiconducting devices and circuits from an engineering perspective.
- You would like to study more courses in analogue circuit design (such as "ETIN30, Integrated Radio Electronics") but do not have
the necessary prerequisites .
- You have not studied other basic courses in analogue circuits (such as ESS020 or ESSF01) previously.
