SYLLABUS
The first stop in your journey to learn the art of electronics! l i ! We will be covering a large volume of material during this course. Hopefully, this course will be both informative and fun.

There are four main topics covered in the course: 1. Physics of conduction in semiconductors y f 2. Solid-state diodes and their use in non-linear circuits 3. 3 Physics and applications of Field Effect Transistors (FET) 4. Logic circuit design

By the end of this quarter you will be able to:

1. Calculate conduction properties of materials and simple device structures 2. Explain the operating principles of semiconductor diodes and FETs 3. Determine the in-circuit operating state of diodes and FETs 4. Perform large signal analysis of circuits containing semiconductor diodes and FETs 5. Use a modern schematic capture and computer-aided circuit analysis program (SPICE) 6. 6 Calculate the performance parameters for different MOS logic families

Office Hours: Wed. 14pm to 16pm

* Allow at least 48 hours for a response to your email

Class meets: Monday: 13:30-16:30 Friday: 13:30 16:30 13:30-16:30 Required textbook: Microelectronic Circuit Design by
Jaeger (3rd Ed.) g ( )

The Laboratory: weekly lab sessions. Homeworks: weekly homework assignments (from sec. Week) Note!
*Homeworks will be handed out each Friday and collected at the beginning f h l b i i of the class the following Friday. h f ll i F id p ( ) *No late homework will be accepted (?)

You are encouraged to discuss the p g problems with other students but the final work that you y hand in should be your own work.

There will be a total of 6 homeworks. You will p f pp g have the option of dropping the one with the lowest grade; so only five of the homework g y assignments will be counted towards your final grade.

Exams:
There will be two in-class midterms and a final exam. in class exam No make-up exam will be given.(The purpose of any makeup p g ( p p y p
exam is to allow students, with legitimate reasons for missing a scheduled exam, to fulfil the requirements of a course).

Incompletes are not given out as course grades. The exams are normally closed-book, closed-note, and closed homework. A one-page write-up sheet will be allowed. Make sure to bring a calculator to all exams.

The final grade consists of:

Homeworks (6 total): 20% (the lowest will be dropped) Laboratory Reports (5 total): 15% (3% each) Midterm #1: 15% Midterm #2: 15% Final Exam 25% Total: 100%
