Advanced microelectronics systems: selected topics

The content of the course includes modern innovative architectures of mixed signal analogue/digital integrated systems in deep sub-micron CMOS and BiCMOS technologies (<90nm) with all restrictions and modelling problems related to that.

Problems related to complexity and low supply voltage require special attention for digital, analogue and mixed-signal circuit implementation. Important part is built-in-self-test (BIST) and cointegration fo sensors and electronics.

The course will be divided in three main directions:

• The design of low/high voltage integrated systems including high frequency and low noise dynamic systems in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies,
• Cointegration of MEMS/NEMS sensors togather with VLSI integrated system including the modelling and verification methodologies
• Testing of modern complex microelectronic systems including BIST methods for mixed-signal integrated systems

Each direction is based on the lectures,

followed by  seminar work, which is the basis

for the  individual research work.

The goal of the program is to improve the understanding of possibilities and limitations related to the design of VLSI microelectronic nano-electronic systems in CMOS and BiCMOS technologies with channel length below 100nm and prepare the students for individual research in the field.
