Design Of An Integrated Circuit

New sciences have also contributed to technology, as in the theoretical preparation for the invention of the steam engine. In the 20th century, innovations in semiconductor technology increased the performance and decreased the cost of electronic materials and devices by a factor of a million, an achievement unparalleled in the history of any technology.”

Manufacturing an integrated circuit with vertically stacking chips, silicon wafers, and dies and interconnect them using through-silicon vias (TSVs). A 3D assembly of chips is generally referred to as a chip comprised of two or more active semiconductor devices. The whole purpose of the previous is that a chip acts as a single component. 3D assembly’s major purpose is to improve the electrical performance power saving, and reduction of used space [4]. 3D assembly is implemented in so many applications, such as; smartphones, laptops, medical devices, and military aircrafts.

In the book, “The Circuit” by Francisco Jimenez, some examples are given on how family and culture can influence one’s life. Family and culture can negatively affect a person’s life because in the narrator’s case, it can cause them to move away from their friends or work hard to support their family. For example, “As the last days of August disappeared, so did the number of braceros. Sunday, only one—the best picker—came to work. I liked him. [...] That Sunday was the last time I saw him. [...] The thought of having to move to Fresno and knowing what was in store for me there brought tears to my eyes” (Jimenez 2 and 5). In other words, the narrator had to leave because the harvesting season was over and they had to find another place to work.

output. Additionally, assembly line will put fabricated parts together at a series of workstations to create a

This paper is written in a perspective of business consultant analyzing the feasibility of a process engineering proposal concerning the introduction of a new line of silicon sensors and several proposed changes in the existing manufacturing process of the Silicon Sensors Assembly Room. Recommendations and alternatives regarding these two matters are also provided.

An alternative to the fabrication process carried out by milling machines is something the author refers to as “additive fabrication” which he states is similar to the formation of Lego blocks (i.e., starting with nothing and adding materials to create an object). Gershenfeld states that the industrial automation company Festo utilizes additive fabrication in the composition of the products their machines create. However, Gershenfeld explains that milling machines and Festo are designed to be used by trained professionals and industrial engineers rather than the general public, conflicting with the idea of physical fabrication becoming accessible on a personal level. Gershenfeld states that individuals are limited to choosing from a menu of commodities preselected by other people. According to Gershenfeld, other possible means of personal fabrication are Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). MEMS fabrication consists of “cutting out tiny silicon machines with the fabrication processes that are currently used to make integrated circuits” (Gershenfeld

Have you ever wondered who created the magical homework calculating machine (the calculator)? It was Jack Kilby creating yet another technological advancement for the world to thank him for. Before that he created the first microchip and integrated circuit. This caused him to earn himself the Nobel Prize, a spot in the National Inventors Hall of Fame, a spot in the Engineering and Science Hall of Fame, and many other achievements. Jack is known throughout the world standing right next to Thomas Jefferson in the Inventors Hall of Fame

　　The microelectronic revolution started when they were using the vacuum tubes it consume a lot of power supply. As a comparison the ENIAC used about 2000 times as much electricity as the modern laptop. Not just that, the modern term for a problem that holds up a computer program is a “bug”. Popular legend has it that this word entered the vocabulary of computer programmers sometimes in the 1950s when moths, attracted by the glowing lights of vacuum tubes, flew inside machines and caused a short circuit. In order to create more advance computer, would have needed hundreds of thousands or even millions of tubes, which would have been

Manufacturing Cells production is organized in groupings of all the different types of equipment used to make a given product. Materials move from one machine to another, and various operations are performed in sequence, minimizing materials-handling costs. Workers are also hired and trained to multitasked performing a variety of activities. Defects in the process are aggressively eliminated; this is due to the tight links in between workstations. Setup time is another aspect of U.S. Strollers that can be reduced using manufacturing cells concept. The production of a product, its cycle time until it's completed is reduced significantly. Reducing setup time and costs make production in smaller batches economical, which in turn reduces inventory levels

Komputer yang kita kenal saat ini adalah hasil pengembangan teknologi elektronika dan informatika sehingga bentuk komputer yang asalnya berukuran besar dan makan tempat, sekarang berbentuk kecil dengan kemampuan besar. Kemajuan industri komponen elektronika IC (integrated circuit) telah mendorong terciptanya berbagai perangkat chip IC yang beragam dan mendukung berbagai keperluan pembuatan produk elektronik. Kemajuan teknologi elektronika tidak terlepas dari adanya kemajuan dibidang pengetahuan dan pengolahan bahan semikonduktor khususnya silicon.

The PCF8574AN is an 8-bit inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus input/output (I/O) expander. This chip allows more I/O in the system. The I2C bus is a network which contains a master and slave. For this project the master is the Raspberry Pi and the slave is the I/O expander chip. The two communicate via the data and clock lines. The slave has an additional address so that the master can identify it in the network if there were more slaves.

The potential to create exceptional, innovative products through the use of electrical engineering and embedded systems have always fascinated me. From the miniaturized circuit boards in smartphones and tablet PCs to the large-scale embedded electronics used in aerospace systems (Bozzano, Cimatti, Katoen, et. al., 2011) electrical engineering has long fascinated me. One of the most significant factors that led to my passion for this subject is the revolution that is occurring in the areas of mobile processors, avionics and aerospace systems, where embedded systems are critical to the navigational integrity of the vehicle. This revolution in embedded systems is also leading to an entirely new era of performance in avionics and deep space exploration, which promises to deliver insights never learned before from previous technologies (Kadayif, Kandemir, 2005). Due to all of these factors I am extremely interested in electrical engineering and pursing it a graduate degree in this academic discipline .
