Course description and aims
It is very important to understand the large-scale integrated circuit (VLSI) technology to support the modern society in the underlying. So in conjunction with VLSI Technology Second, the CMOS integrated circuit will be dicussed, in particular, scaling techniques, miniaturization technology (exposure technique, film forming technique, an etching technique, ion-implantation, CMP techniques, etc.), a memory device technology, sensor technology, actuator technology, interconnect technology, passive device technology, packaging technology, and others.
Student learning outcomes
By course of this lecture, the goals is to understand the large-scale integrated circuits that support modern society. In addition, we aim to be able to apply to the actual integrated circuit design.
