  15. Computational modelling and simulation of MES structures, finite element method, reduced order model / network model. Overview of simulation tools. Introducing the design and simulation tools of MEMS
Syllabus of laboratory practices:
  1. Getting acquainted with the IC design framework system, introduction to the design flow, case study. Getting the specification
  2. Design and simulation of the schematic of the selected circuit (DC, AC, transient)
  3. Investigation of the circuit operation in addition to the process scattering and ambient temperature changes. Redesign of the circuit.
  4. Design steps and flow of the MEMS device. The physical design of a selected MEMS structure

  6. Co-design and co-simulation possibilities and method of System on chip devices.

In the frame of the Design of Microelectronics System course the special methodologies and tools during the design of analogue, mixed-signal integrated circuits and Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) will be introduced. The aim of the course to give knowledge and practical skills about modern integrated circuits and MEMS structures, System-on-Chip (SoC) and System-in-Package (SiP) devices, design methodology of integrated circuits applied in cyberphysical-systems, computer aided IC design (CAD) tools, the principal components, the complete design and verification flow and the future trends. The 2nd order effects (e.g.: thermal influences) will be discussed also.
