They capture vital information from the real world. This course covers the design of sensors and interfacing circuits in CMOS process. The student will learn to design the sensors for different sensing purposes and their front-end interfaces to process the acquired signals at both system- and circuit-level. Different design considerations such as noise, power consumption, distortion/nonlinearity will be discussed. Fabrication of the micro-electro-mechanical systems and their integration with the CMOS integrated circuits will also be covered.  To build fundamental blocks in the CMOS process for signal readout.  To design sensing systems in CMOS process.  To realize different sensing elements (thermal, capacitive, magnetic, optical, etc.) in the CMOS process and their potential applications.  To understand how to interface between the sensing elements and the readout circuits.  To understand the Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and the synergy between MEMS and CMOS process.  To use the simulation tools to design the sensing circuits and systems in CMOS process along with an understanding of their limitations.  To present and communicate technical ideas and concepts effectively among different fields.
