6.012 is the header course for the department’s “Devices, Circuits and Systems” concentration. The topics covered include: modeling of microelectronic devices, basic microelectronic circuit analysis and design, physical electronics of semiconductor junction and metal-on-silicon (MOS) devices, relation of electrical behavior to internal physical processes, development of circuit models, and understanding the uses and limitations of various models. The course uses incremental and large-signal techniques to analyze and design bipolar and field effect transistor circuits, with examples chosen from digital circuits, single-ended and differential linear amplifiers, and other integrated circuits.

![Copper interconnects with intermetal dielectrics removed, so the metal scaffolding is visible.](/courses/6-012-microelectronic-devices-and-circuits-spring-2009/a45762a159a96bbc55daa399e4f206e7_6-012s09.jpg)
Copper interconnects are discussed briefly in lecture 1, which provides an overview of the course. (Figure by MIT OpenCourseWare.)
