· For the fabrication of chips in this class, AMI’s 500 nm (C5 with two polysilicon layers and 3 levels of metal) will be used with a MOSIS technology code of SCN3ME_SUBM with a lambda of 300 nm.
· MOSIS information for this process is located here and the SPICE models are C5_models.txt
· In this course we will make extensive use of LTspice for SPICE simulation and Electric for Layout.
· Layout examples using Electric from the lectures are found in ee5410.jelib.

Policies
No late work accepted. All assigned work is due at the beginning of class (received email by the time class starts for off-campus students).
Neither the final exam nor final project will be returned at the end of the semester.
Cheating or plagiarism will result in an automatic F grade in the course (so do your own homework and projects!)
