此课程目的是教育高年级/研究生分析与设计数字集成电路的技巧。学生完成此课程之后要求达到用CMOS工艺进行简单集成电路设计。熟悉现代计算机辅助设计工具。此课程从介绍数字设计中的核心模块反相器开始设计的详细介绍和分析开始。我们将讨论用CMOS实现方法。进一步讨论更复杂的逻辑门的设计与实现，如NAND, NOR 和EXOR的设计，同时讨论也对速度、面积和功耗优化进行讨论。所学知识将被用于更复杂的模块如加法器和乘发器的设计。我们也讨论互联寄生对设计的影响以及处理方法。我们也讲解时序电路，定时方法，和存储器设计原理。最后我们介绍近年流行的设计方法论。整个课程中我们将在作业，实验，和课程项目中强调使用计算机辅助设计工具。

This course teaches the senior/graduate students techniques to design and analyze digital integrated circuits. Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to Design simple digital integrated circuits using CMOS technologies and Be familiar with the use of modern Computer Aided Design Tools. In the first part of this course, we introduce CMOS fabrication flow, modeling of semiconductor device and interconnect. Interconnect modeling is becoming very important in ultra-deep micron digital IC design. In the second part digital IC is analyzed in the view of circuit, including the analysis of CMOS inverter, other gate circuits, and aspects of sequential circuit. We discuss important concepts on propagation delay, noise margins, and power dissipation, etc. In the third part, digital IC design is addressed in the view of system, including the effects of interconnect on the performances and functions of system. We will look at various design styles and architectures as well as the issues designers must face, such as technology scaling and the impact of interconnect. Examples presented in class include arithmetic circuits, semiconductor memories, and other novel circuits. CAD Tools for layout, extraction, and simulation will be used for assignments, labs and projects
