Spring 2008

ECE 5210: MEMS from Fabrication to Application

Offered across the Commonwealth of Virginia through CGEP

(T&R 11 – 12:15 p.m., BURR 123)

MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) are “very small systems” or “systems made of very small components.” The course focuses on the design, fabrication, and application of microsystems providing a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary interactions. The course consists of lectures, readings from the current literature, discussion by students, and team-work projects. The major topics covered are: materials in MEMS; microfabrication techniques; sensing and actuating mechanisms; wafer-level packaging; and case-study of some MEMS-based devices and lab-on-a-chip systems.

ECE 4234: Semiconductor Processing

(T&R 3:30-4:45 p.m., MCB 318)

Manufacturing practices used in silicon integrated circuit fabrication and the underlying scientific basis for these process technologies. Physical models are developed to explain basic fabrication steps, such as substrate growth, thermal oxidation, dopant diffusion, ion implantation, thin film deposition, etching, and lithography. The overall CMOS integrated circuit process flow is described within the context of these physical models.

ECE 3054: Electrical Theory

(Recitation, F 8-8:50 a.m., DER 1076)

For students in curricula other than ECE. Fundamentals of electric circuits: circuit laws and network theorems, operational amplifiers, energy storage elements, response of first and second order systems, AC steady state analysis.
