1 . Review : Active Devices in Microelectronic Circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this part of the notes is to briefly review some of the prerequisite course materials related to characteristics of active device in microelectronic circuits. We summarize dc, large-signal and small-signal (incremental) models of two major types of active devices used in analog, digital and mixed-mode integrated circuits: metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFET), and bipolar junction transistors (BJT). Several examples are used to illustrate approaches to analysis of DC, and AC (small-signal) properties of electronic circuits at the device level.

متن کاملPorous Dielectrics in Microelectronic Wiring Applications
Porous insulators are utilized in the wiring structure of microelectronic devices as a means of reducing, through low dielectric permittivity, power consumption and signal delay in integrated circuits. They are typically based on low density modifications of amorphous SiO2 known as SiCOH or carbon-doped oxides, in which free volume is created through the removal of labile organic phases. Porous...
