ELET 2153 - Intro to Microelectronics

This course will provide an overview of the fabrication and operation of silicon-based integrated circuits including resistors, diodes, transistors and their current-voltage (I-V) characteristics.  Laboratory exercises teach the basics of IC fabrication and I-V measurements.  Oxidation/diffusion, photolithography (spin/bake/expose/develop), etch, and vapor deposition equipment allow students the opportunity to design, build, and test simple solid-state devices.
