Hi am sheehal i would like to get details on 6th sem ece arunkumar notes for microelectronic circuits ..My friend srinivas said 6th sem ece arunkumar notes for microelectronic circuits will be available here and now i am living at bellandur and i last studied in the college/school UVCE and now am doing 7th sem ece
Microelectronics is a subfield of electronics. As its name implies, microelectronics refers to the study and manufacture (or micro-fabrication) of very small electronic components and designs. Usually, but not always, this means micro-metric scale or smaller. These devices are typically made of semiconductor materials. Many components of normal electronic design are available in a microelectronic equivalent. These include transistors, capacitors, inductors, resistors, diodes and (naturally) insulators and conductors can all be found in microelectronic devices. Unique wiring techniques such as wire bonding are also often used in microelectronics due to the unusually small size of components, cables and pickups. This technique requires specialized equipment and is expensive.
Digital integrated circuits (IC) consist mainly of transistors. Analog circuits usually contain resistors and capacitors. Inductors are used in some high frequency analog circuits, but tend to occupy large chip areas if they are used at low frequencies [why?]; Gyrators can replace them in many applications.
As the techniques have improved, the scale of microelectronic components has continued to decline. At smaller scales, the relative impact of intrinsic circuit properties, such as interconnections, may be more significant. These are called parasitic effects, and the goal of the microelectronics design engineer is to find a way to compensate or minimize these effects while delivering smaller, faster and cheaper devices. Today, the design of microelectronics is widely aided by electronic design automation software.
