Physics and Modeling of Nanoscale VLSI DevicesEE 531 Semiconductor Devices & Device SimulationPhysics and Modeling of Nanoscale VLSI DevicesSpring Quarter 2017Tuesday and Thursday, 2:30-4:20pmRoom: MEB 234Instructor:Office: EE 218Phone: 543-2189E-mail: dunham@ee.washington.eduOffice hours: TBAThe course is aimed at understanding nanoscale semiconductor deviceoperation, emphasizing CMOS technology at the current state-of-the-artand beyond. The focus of the course is on submicron MOS devices andwhat happens as these devices get smaller and faster. Devicesimulation using commercial TCAD tools will be used extensively toillustrate and explore device behavior. A simulation project will berequired along with a midterm, final and homeworks (which will alsohave simulation problems).Target Audience: Graduate students and advanced undergraduatesin electrical engineering, computer engineering and physics interestedin VLSI devices and circuits.Course Description: Study of device phenomena in very small andhigh-speed devices including effects of scaling, interfaces, and highdoping. Control of electrical characteristics (threshold voltage,breakdown voltage, on/off currents, current gain, switching speed) insmall MOS structures. Extensive use of device simulation software.

Simulation Software (Sentaurus Device): The simulation software isavailable on the EE Linux cluster. For information on how to access the cluster and the software, visit the EE CAD TA Wiki: Do not print the manuals out. They are HUGE. You can make a copy to read on your local machine. To begin, read Getting Started section of Sentaurus-Device Manual. To run, type 'sdevice commandfile' (commandfile is the file with commands telling simulator what to do) in directory with example files (you make your own copy to edit).You will likely have to either use the full path name or add location of executable to your path.

Tsividis is the Edwin Howard Armstrong Professor of Electrical Engineering. He received the B.S.
Degree from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, and the M.S. Degrees from the University of California, Berkeley. Starting with the first fully integrated MOS operational amplifier, which he demonstrated in 1976, he has done extensive work in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits at the device, circuit, system, signal processing, and computer simulation level.
He and his students have been responsible for several contributions, ranging from precision device modeling and novel circuit building blocks to new techniques for analog and mixed-signal processing, self-correcting chips, switched-capacitor circuit theory, RF integrated circuits, mixed analog-digital VLSI computation, novel signal processing techniques and the creation of computer simulation programs. This work has resulted in several patents in several countries.
He is the recipient of the 1984 IEEE W. Baker Prize Award for the best IEEE publication, the 1986 European Solid-State Circuits Conference Best Paper Award, and the 1998 and 2008 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Guillemin-Cauer Best Paper Award. He is co- recipient of the 1987 IEEE Circuits and Systems Society Darlington Best Paper Award and the 2003 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference L. Winner Outstanding Paper Award. He is a fellow of the IEEE. At Columbia, he has received the 1991 Great Teacher Award from the Alumni Association, the 1998 Distinguished Faculty Teaching Award from the Engineering School Alumni Association, and the 2003 Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching.

He received the IEEE Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2005, and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Education Award in 2010. In 2012, he was elected Professor Honoris Causa at the University of Patras, Greece, and in 2013 he received the Outstanding Achievement Award of the University of Minnesota. He received the IEEE Gustav Robert Kirchhoff Award in 2007.
