EENG 406: Introduction to Integrated Circuits

Course Description

The aim of this course is to provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge required for analyzing and designing very large scale integration (VLSI) circuits and systems in Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology. This course includes hands-on use of a variety of state of the art CAD tools and design techniques.
