Syllabus

Module	Topics	Outcomes	Resources	Activities
Part I: Digital Integrated Circuits
1	Introduction IC Fabrication Scaling	Identify the key characteristics and non-idealities of a CMOS fabrication process. Analyze how these key characteristics and non-idealities change the characteristics of the devices that will be built on it.
