The e-course is the first part of the series “The way the creators of smart nanochips work”. This series introduces students to the basic ideas on which modern digital electronics is built and talks about the work of teams of engineers in high-tech industries that are engaged in the design of nanometer microcircuits.

A series of e-courses "The way   the creators of smart nanochips work"  consists of three e-courses, in which the technological stage by stage  process of creating a microcircuit is described, as well as how the construction of the product is assembled.

In the e-course   “From   Transistor to   Microcircuit” the main objects that an electronic engineer works with such as electrical  signals , logic elements, and memory cells are analyzed in details.

In the next two e-courses of the series   “The Logical Side of Digital Circuitry” and “The Physical side of digital circuitry”  the way of how engineers construct circuits is presented.  

For students   taking this e-course  it is desirable (but not necessary)  to  be familiar with “boolean algebra”, “binary numbers”  and “ transistor operations” (in the series the  brief explanations are given on these topics) and to  understand the concepts of the “algorithm”  and be able to program in any language.
