online at the bspace - Use bspace for all information inst website may
not be updated - This class is available through podcast
8Discussion Sections
- Students are encouraged to regularly attend a
discussion section. - The TAs will review key concepts covered in the
lectures, and work through sample problems.
9Laboratory Sections
- Lab sections will begin Wednesday 9/6.
- 353 Cory (no food or drinks!)
- Students must regularly attend a lab section.
- Lab experiments will be done in pairs. Each
person should turn in his/her individual
assignments. - Each pre-lab assignment is due at the beginning
of the corresponding lab session. Post-lab
assignments are due at the beginning of the
following lab session. - Pick up a computer account form today.
- (You will need to use it for the Prelab 1
assignment!)

11Top 5 Ways to Avoid an A Grade
- Skip live lectures
- Dont put adequate effort into HW assignments
- Do it at the last minute
- Rely too much on collaboration
- Dont attend discussion sections
- Dont turn in the Lab reports
- Dont review HW solutions, old/sample exams and
solutions
12Miscellaneous
- Special accommodations
- Students may request accommodation of religious
creed, disabilities, and other special
circumstances. Please make an appointment to
discuss your request, in advance. - Academic (dis)honesty
- Departmental policy will be strictly followed
- Cheating on an exam will result in an F course
grade. - Collaboration (not cheating!) is encouraged
- Homework should be done individually.
- Classroom etiquette
- Arrive in class on time!
- Bring your own copy of the lecture notes.

14Introduction
15Early History of IC Devices
- 1940s Vacuum-tube era
- Vacuum tubes were used for radios,
- television, telephone equipment,
- and computers
- but they were expensive, bulky,
- fragile, and energy-hungry
- ? Invention of the point-contact transistor
- ? Walter Brattain, John Bardeen,
- and William Shockley, Bell Labs, 1947
Nobel Prize in Physics 1956
- reproducibility was an issue, however
- ? Invention of the bipolar junction transistor
(BJT) - ? William Shockley, Bell Labs, 1950
- more stable and reliable easier and cheaper to
make
16Discrete Electronic Circuits
- In 1954, Texas Instruments produced the first
commercial silicon transistor. - Before the invention of the integrated circuit,
electronic equipment was composed of discrete
components such as transistors, resistors, and
capacitors. These components, often simply
called discretes, were manufactured separately
and were wired or soldered together onto circuit
boards. Discretes took up a lot of room and were
expensive and cumbersome to assemble, so
engineers began, in the mid-1950s, to search for
a simpler approach

17The Integrated Circuit (IC)
- An IC consists of interconnected electronic
components in a single piece (chip) of
semiconductor material.
- In 1958, Jack S. Kilby (Texas Instruments) showed
that it was possible to fabricate a simple IC in
germanium.
18From a Few, to Billions of Components
- By connecting a large number of components, each
performing simple operations, an IC that performs
complex tasks can be built. - The degree of integration has increased at an
exponential pace over the past 40 years.
Moores Law still holds today.
19The Silicon Revolution
- Steady progress in integrated-circuit technology
over 40 years has had dramatic impact on the way
people live, work, and play.
- The semiconductor industry is approaching
