Design A comprehensive study of compact models used in circuit simulators for VLSI design. In depth study of parameter extraction, optimization and device characterization techniques required for developing compact models. Development of statistical, mismatch and noise models for analog circuit design. Review of state of the art models used in industry. This course examines genetic algorithms as mathematical algorithms for search, optimization, and machine learning patterned after the evolutionary processes of reproduction, survival of the fittest, and genetic recombination.
Some companies also collect massive data sets on competitors' offerings and prices.
The objective of data mining is to identify valid, novel, potentially useful, and ultimately understandable patterns and knowledge in large data sets. Data mining is also called knowledge discovery or information gold mining. Our goal is to apply data mining techniques for E-Commerce. Students will apply JAVA and CGI programming to set up their E-Commerce like web sites to provide virtual goods and services. Analog CMOS Integrated Circuit Design Design techniques for CMOS analog integrated circuits.
