Chapter 2. Fundamentals of CMOS design
About This Chapter
The first integrated circuit (IC), called a phase shift oscillator composed of one transistor, one capacitor, and three resistors, was created by Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments on September 12, 1958. Today, a typical IC chip can easily contain several hundred millions of transistors and miles of interconnect wires. This very large-scale integration (VLSI) ability has been enabled by the modern use of the many electronic design automation (EDA) technologies and applications discussed in this book.
In this chapter, we discuss a few basic and very important concepts of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to aid in the learning process and facilitate greater understanding ...
