Master in Microelectronics Technology and Manufacturing Management
Module 3.1 - Basics of Design
3.1.1 - Digital Circuit Design
Program focus
This 12-hour course is an introduction to the design of digital circuits,
intended for the people involved in the semi-conductor industry in general
and needing an overview of the applications of the technology they are working
on.
Benefits
After this course, the participants will be able to understand the concepts
and methods used in digital circuits design, in order to communicate efficiently
with the digital designers and product engineers.
3.1.2 - Analog CMOS Design
Program focus
This 12-hours course focuses on basic analog cell design in nano-scale CMOS
technology, and makes the bridge with design rules and technology-related
electrical rules. The target technology is CMOS 90nm as defined in international
technology roadmaps. The cours includes a practical training using Microwind
design and simulation tool.
Benefits
At the end of the course, the auditor will be able to design and simulate
basic analog cells and understand the link between design parameters and
electrical performances.
3.1.3 - Electromagnetic Compatibility of integrated circuits
Program focus
This six-hour course presents the challenges for electromagnetic compatibility
of integrated circuits. A set of basic concepts is proposed as an introduction,
covering specific units, impedance, origin of noise, noise margins, time/frequency
conversion and 50 W adaptation. The second focus concerns parasitic emission,
how to design low emission circuits and how to measure the IC emission using
standard IEC 61967 methods. A third topic concerns susceptibility, with
focus on measurement methods (IEC 62132) and hardware/software techniques
to improve immunity to interference. The fourth part is related to modeling
approaches for predicting EMC, based on standards such as IBIS and ICEM.
Finally, roadmaps and future challenges are briefly reviewed.
Benefits
At the end of this course, you will understand the mechanisms of parasitic
emission; take part in a global emission reduction strategy; handle standard
measurements of emission and susceptibility; and design circuits with reduced
signal integrity problems.
