Abstract
The rapid evolution and explosive growth of integrated circuit technology have impacted society more than any other technological development of the 20th century. Integrated circuits (ICs) are used universally, in everything from computer technology, communications, and information processing to transportation, residential and recreational applications. In fact, it is becoming difficult to find applications in which IC electronics have not been used. The expanding use of IC technology requires more accurate circuit analysis methods and tools, prompting the introduction of computers into the design process. The goal of this book is to build a firm foundation in the use of Computer-Assisted techniques for IC device and process Design (CAD). Both practical and analytical viewpoints are stressed to give the reader the background necessary to appreciate CAD tools and to feel comfortable with their use.
