  1. Welcome to EE 130/230AIntegrated Circuit Devices Instructors: Prof. Tsu-Jae King Liu (tsujae@berkeley.edu) TA: Peng Zheng (pzheng@eecs.berkeley.edu) Web page: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~ee130/ bSpace: EE 130/230A Fall 2013 Piazza: https://piazza.com/berkeley/fall2013/ee130230a/home Objectives: Fundamental understanding of the working principles of semiconductor devices used in modern ICs. An ability to design a transistor to meet performance requirements within realistic constraints.

  2. Lectures (241 Cory): TuTh 2-3:30 PM Discussion Section (beginning Tuesday 9/3): Section 101 (247 Cory): Mo 10-11 AM Section 102 (247 Cory): We 12-1 PM Office Hours: Prof. Liu (225 Cory): Mo 4-5 PM Peng Zheng (288 Cory): Tu 9-10 AM and We 4-5 PM Schedule EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 2

  3. Prerequisite: EECS40: Basic properties of semiconductors; basic understanding of transistor operation  Familiarity with the Bohr atomic model Relation to other courses:  EE230A is prerequisite for EE230B (Solid State Devices) EE130 is also helpful (but not required) for IC analysis and design courses such as EE140 and EE141, as well as for the microfabrication technology course EE143 Relation to Other Courses EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 3

  4. Reading Material • Textbook: Semiconductor Device Fundamentals by R. F. Pierret (Addison Wesley, 1996) • Reference: • Modern Semiconductor Devices for Integrated Circuits by C. Hu (Prentice Hall, 2009) EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 4

  5. Homework (posted online) due Th (beginning of class) late homeworks not accepted! Design project assigned by 11/7, due by 12/12 You may work in pairs 6 Quizzes 25 minutes each closed book (notes allowed) no make-up quizzes Final exam Tu 12/17 8AM to 11AM closed book (7 pages of notes allowed) Grading Letter grades will be assigned based approximately on the following scale: 10% 20% A+: 98-100 A: 89-98 A-: 87-89 B+: 85-87 B: 76-85 B-: 74-76 C+: 72-74 C: 63-72 C-: 61-63 D: 50-61 F: <50 30% 40% EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 5

  6. Miscellany • Special accommodations: • Students may request accommodation of religious creed, disabilities, and other special circumstances. Please meet with Prof. Liu to discuss your request, in advance. • Academic (dis)honesty • Departmental policy will be strictly followed • Collaboration is encouraged • Classroom etiquette: • Arrive in class on time! • Bring your own copy of the lecture notes. • Turn off cell phones, etc. • Avoid distracting conversations EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 6

  7. In 1959, Robert Noyce (Fairchild Semiconductor) demonstrated an IC made in silicon using SiO2 as the insulator and Al for the metallic interconnects. The first planar IC (actual size: 0.06 in. diameter) The Integrated Circuit (IC) • An IC consists of interconnected electronic components in a single piece (“chip”) of semiconductor material. • In 1958, Jack S. Kilby (Texas Instruments) showed that it was possible to fabricate a simple IC in germanium. EE130/230A Fall 2013 Course Overview, Slide 7

  8. 300mm Si wafer From a Few, to Billions of Components • By connecting a large number of components, each performing simple operations, an IC that performs complex tasks can be built. • The degree of integration has increased at an exponential pace over the past ~40 years. • Moore’s Law: The # of devices on a chip doubles every ~2 yrs, for the same chip price.
