Spring Term 2008

Lectures: Tuesday and Thursday 11:30am - 1pm, Maxwell Dworkin 221

We will be using CMOS VLSI Design by Weste and Harris. A link to the book's web site provides information about the book and access to sample chapters.

CS148 presents concepts and techniques for the design and fabrication of VLSI integrated circuits. Topics include basic semiconductor device theory, diodes and MOS transistor operation; integrated circuit fabrication technology, VLSI layout and design rules; NMOS and CMOS circuit design, memory and processor design, advanced VLSI systems architecture; testing of VLSI circuits; and some analog CMOS circuit design. CAD tools for design and simulation are used extensively for homework assignments and for a final VLSI design project.

CS248 is an advanced version of CS148 that requires additional work in the form of paper discussion meetings and a custom design project. Please use the reviews link to access papers and submit reviews.
