Teaching

Objective of the course: 

The objective of this course is to impart basic background in analog and digital circuits. The course would use simple models; detailed description of the semiconductor devices would be covered in a separate course. The internal circuits of the blocks used in this course (such as op-amps, logic gates) will not be covered in this course. Instead, the broad behavioral description of these blocks will be used to explain the circuit operation. 

Objective of the course: 

Micro and Nano devices and systems are at the heart of the modern-day technology. All the microelectronic or nano-electronic circuits used in laptop, mobiles and other gadgets are products of this technology. Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and microelectronic circuits share the same process technology. It is important to get familiar with these sensors and circuits we use everyday. Objective of the course is to teach the students – Why these sensors are important, how do they work and most importantly how are they made. After successfully completing this course, students will have a clear idea about MEMS and NEMS devices and their applications. They will know how to design, analyse and characterize a micro or nano system. They will also have an idea about MEMSfabrication.

Objective of the course: 

This objective of this course is to provide a comprehensive understanding of digital circuits and systems, including logic families, combinatorial and sequential circuits, and hardware description language. It covers overview of logic families, noise margins, CMOS-based logic gates, binary number systems, digital arithmetic, and finite state machine design, analysis, and synthesis. The course also introduces hardware description languages and array-based logic elements like memory, PLA, and FPGA. Special topics such as processor design, testing, and verification are also covered to equip students with essential skills for digital system design. 

Objective of the course: 

Advanced Microfabrication Techniques for CMOS and Sensors is a specialized course that provides students and researchers with a strong foundation in modern microfabrication processes for CMOS devices and sensor technologies. It covers key fabrication steps such as lithography, thin-film deposition, etching, oxidation, doping, and process integration, along with cleanroom practices and device reliability. A major highlight of the course is hands-on training for all students using SEMulator3D experiments, offering practical exposure to process simulation and device fabrication workflows. The course is further strengthened through collaboration with Lam Research and IISc Bangalore, bringing valuable industry and academic perspectives. Overall, it is designed to equip participants with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills relevant to advanced semiconductor and sensor development in India.

Objective of the course: 

The course introduces fundamental concepts and analytical techniques for electrical circuits and networks. It covers time-domain and frequency-domain analysis using network theorems, differential equations, and Laplace transforms. Students learn to formulate and solve network equations through node and loop analysis, source transformations, and state-variable methods. The course also includes advanced topics such as two-port networks, sinusoidal steady-state response, Bode and Nyquist plots, stability criteria, and power transfer. By the end of the course, students will be able to analyze, design, and interpret complex electrical systems effectively.

Objective of the course: 

Main objective of this course is to introduce students to micro- and nano-scale devices. After successfully completing this short course, students will have an idea about MEMS and NEMS devices and their applications. They will know how to design, analyze and characterize a micro or nano system. They will also have an idea about MEMS fabrication.
