Micro-Electronic Circuit Design with Integrated Components

Abstract

This paper gives a review of the more significant developments in the linear micro-electronic circuit design, which are relevant to economically viable manufacture. A succinct account of the stat-of-the-art silicon monolithic operational amplifier and active-RC filter designs are presented. An evaluation of these design approaches leads to the conclusion that thick-film hybrids with plastics and organic conductors might be more suited to economic manufacture of integrated circuits whose functions are defined for specific application and which are not required in large number.
