半导体基础证书课程
Semiconductor technology is a highly complex field that demands proficiency in a range of disciplines, 包括物理, 制造业, 以及设备工程. Not all engineering programs can offer semiconductor and microelectronics curricular and research programs due to the requirement for cleanroom fabrication and sophisticated equipment for 制造业 microdevices. 十大菠菜台子 (OU)'s School of 工程与计算机科学 (SECS) is fortunate to have a microelectronics credit program with comprehensive courses and a 1400-sq ft, Class 1000 cleanroom in the 工程中心 for hand-on-training. We recently developed a non-credit certificate program entitled, 半导体基础介绍, designed to upskill Professional Engineers interested in the semiconductor discipline.
These three topics offer fundamentals to the principles, 材料结构, 半导体器件的制造工艺.
单元1:半导体材料和器件
This course on semiconductor basics will cover the following topics essential to semiconductors and microelectronics: semiconductor crystals; charges in semiconductor; energy bands of the charges in semiconductors, equilibrium and non-equilibrium states of charges in semiconductors; semiconductor-metal contacts; semiconductor diodes; bipolar junction transistors (BJT) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET).
模块 2:集成电路和构建模块
This module addresses fundamental device structures and functional blocks in integrated circuits. Compared to discrete devices, various special effects are involved in integrated circuits. 相应的, the circuit design and individual device implementations are different from circuits built with discrete semiconductor devices.
主题:
- Transition and requirements from discrete semiconductor devices to integrated circuits
- Structures of BJTs and MOSFETs in integrated circuits
- 数字门电路和逻辑电路
- Building blocks of digital and analog integrated circuits such as active loads, 共源共栅, 电流反射镜和直流偏置技术, 参考源和IC性能改进
- BJT和MOSFET线性放大器
模块 3: Discrete and Integrated Circuit Design Using Cadence
The design of semiconductor devices and ICs involves comprehensive understanding of the device structures and the technologies used in device fabrication. Electronic design automation (EDA) tools are also crucial in implementation of the design. 模块 3 offers such coverage with trainees’ hands-on experience in circuit design using Cadence — a mainstream EDA platform for IC design.
主题:
- Major performance parameters of analog and digital circuits
- Frequency responses and timing of digital gate circuits
- 电力设计
- 互连
- 组合和顺序设计方法
- 输电线路
- 集成电路中的器件模型
- Hands-on experience with Cadence for circuit design and simulation such as platform configuration, 技术选择, 化学与仿真, 布局, 后期布局仿真, 优化设计, 敲打出过程
Trainees will use OU SECS’s Cadence platform through remote access.
