Abstract :
Teaching analog electronics leads us to set up a complete analog integrated circuit design flow to allow students to detail the main aspects of designer´s tasks. In our case we propose the following design flow: circuit design and simulation, circuit integration by customizing prediffused array, die bonding and testing of the final circuit. All these steps require classical equipment except customizing the array which is made by a laser beam direct writing system
