Integrated Circuit Design - EE Master Specialisation
Integrated Circuit Design (ICD) in one of the several Electrical Engineering Master’s programme specialisations. In ICD you learn how to design chips and how to test them. Starting from the basis of transistors you learn also how to make these signals wireless.
Bram Nauta, chair of the Integrated Circuit Design group,
Maryam Dodengeh, PhD Researcher researching Bluetooth Low Energy technologies
Luc van Dijk, Master Student nearing the end of this specialisation
Tell about their experience, the courses in the programme, the research, the process of designing a chip, the applications and the job perspective.
Integrated Circuits - also known as ”chips” - are at the heart of the rapid developments in electronics. Without chips, the modern world would simply be impossible. Applications like (wireline and wireless) communications, sensing, self-driving cars, artificial intelligence, and in fact the whole internet, are fueled by chips! This field has become of extremely high societal, industrial, and geopolitical importance. While signal processing and computing are done in the digital domain, the interface with the natural world and the physical implementation of circuits is all analog by nature. The University of Twente has one of the few leading groups in the world in this exciting analog and Radio Frequency domain.
