ESE 514 - MOSTransistor Modeling

An overview of the metal-oxide semiconductor (MOS) transistor and its models for circuit analysis. The course is modular in structure. In a common first part, CMOS fabrication, device structure and operation are introduced. Starting from basic concepts of electrostatics, MOS field-effect transistor operation is presented in an intuitive fashion, and no advanced background in solid-state theory is required. Analytical models of increasing complexity and their SPICE Implementations are discussed. The second part of the course allows students to focus on their field of preference: Device physics; digital circuits; Analog circuits. The course includes a project in one of these subtopics.
