Analog VLSI Designer-12 months

Course Goal
The goal of the course is to expose the students to the theory of modern Circuit and Analog CMOS design technology and to guide the engineers throughout the process of becoming contributing circuit and analog CMOS engineers in any chip design company. The course is constructed such that it will cover most of relevant aspects of Circuit/Analog IC design and will emphasize the advantages of effectively using the powerful tools that are offered by EDA vendors. The successful graduates (those who passed the final exam and successfully defended their project) will gain an industrial experience that is equal at least to 1-2 years in some High Tech company.

Who can attend
Electronics Engineers. Target: to become a certified and knowledgeable Junior Circuit and Analog IC Designer with experience level equal to 1-2 years at least.

Course duration:
11-12 months, 550 hours – 250 academic hours and 300h work on project hours at home.

Classes Schedule
1 evening class on weekdays (Mon-Thu, 5.30pm-10.00pm), or 1 morning class on Friday (9.00-13.30).

Course Structure
The course is vaguely partitioned into 2 Parts � 2 Semesters:

1. Semester A:
* VLSI Circuit Design
2. Semester B:
* Analog IC (CMOS) Design

Projects
1. Project for Circuit Design (Semester A)
2. Project for Analog IC Design (Semester B)

Course Grading Criteria
The grading of each student will be measured by the exams and the implementation of the project of each semester.
