Course Handouts:
Hand outs are in the library (semiconductor basic concepts)
A graph showing electron and hole mobility in Si is here.
The handout on basic digital circuit's parameters is here.
Some course notes on scaling
Project Description and Resources ...
A Short course on SPICE (and WinSpice3)
Full Spice3 user's manual (link). ftp://rahma.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa/../../../../export/tools/material
login using your CCSE (unix) ID and password. Then go into the
SharedFolder/IC Design Resources folder. Also check the WINSPICE manual.
Download a self-extracting WinSpice from the same link above.
If you have a problem with the above link then ftp to rahma.ccse.kfupm.edu.sa then change
directory to /export/tools/material then go into the SharedFolder/IC Design Resources folder to
get what you need
Spice Technology files: 0.5µm, 5V Technology , 0.35µm, 3.3V Technology ,
0.25µm, 2.5V Technology and 0.18µm, 1.8V Technology
WinSpice example files: The class example, DC analysis of an NMOS inverter
& Transient analysis of the same circuit
5Spice Installation folder (just copy to your Z drive)
Magic Resources (These are from Dr. El-Maleh's web and will open in a separate window)
Magic Tutorials: tut1, tut2, tut3, tut4, tut5, tut6, tut7, tut8, tut9, tut10, tut11
Magic & Irsim source code (magic6.5)
Download Magic for W2000 from \\coe-elrabaa\SharedFolder\Magic\Magic for W2000
Download Magic for XP from \\coe-elrabaa\SharedFolder\Magic\Magic for XP
Magic layers (Cheat-sheet)
Also there are two shared folders on my machine's C drive (\\coe-elrabaa):
one contains the Magic Technology files for the three technologies (TechFiles)
and another for a self-extracting WinSpice (Spice 3 for windows). The technology
files include a PAD_ESD standard cell library. The documentations for the PAD library
and for logic standard cells (useful to see how a professional layouts looks like).
Here is a sample of an excellent Phase II of the project
