Aim

This course aims at providing basic knowledge in modern device physcis and analogue electronics. In particular the course aims at enabling further studies related to analogue IC, high-speed devices and nanoelectronics. The main theme in the course is the MOS transistor which is the main device used in commercial applications. The course discusses the basic operation of the MOS strucutre, its transistor architecture as well as the intration of the transistor in basic amplifier stages. The frequency dependent properties will be discussed in detail. Examples will be provided from current research.
