International Centre for Graduate Education in Micro- and Nano- Engineering: Courses

Digital Systems Design is a core subject area in microelectronics and microprocessor architecture design. Micro and nano systems interface to digital devices. The assignment-based module introduces students to the design of a modular, medium complexity digital system design and implementation, structured design and documentation methods, related Electronic Design Automation tools for Hardware Description Language design capture, simulation, logic synthesis and FPGA implementation.

This course will introduce students to the interdisciplinary skills required to design and apply microsystems, will examine some current commercial microsystems application and will consider future possibilities for the technology. It can be taken by students from different technical backgrounds and introduces a technology which is predicted to find applications in many technical domains.

The object of this course is to provide the student with an opportunity to fabricate a simple MOS integrated circuit and to learn about electrical and optical characterizations.

This module introduces a range of topics on the advanced physics and technology of photonic devices used in optical communications and related application areas, making it suitable for ICGEE students undertaking a PhD in Photonics.
