About MICS

The research goal at MICS is to improve efficiency and productivity of designing and verifying analog/mixed-signal ICs. We are looking for candidates who are not only good with circuit design, but also interested in methodology development, maths related to circuit modeling and simulation, and software coding. Please read our website (http://mics.snu.ac.kr) carefully whether our research directions are aligned with yours before you apply.
Quiz: Which is not the main research directions of MICS?*

Efficient IC designModeling and simulation of analog circuitsIC design based on cells instead of transistorsField-programmable analog circuitsNone of the above

Your Motivation

MICS is looking for strongly motivated researchers who can look for problems unsolved and dare to solve them despite what others say.
Graduate study is not easy. Tell us why you want to join research in IC design and its automation despite the anticipated hardship.*
Tell us what you are good at and how you can contribute to the MICS research the most.*

XMODEL

XMODEL is a tool originally developed by MICS to address the verification challenges of many mixed-signal ICs. While XMODEL is now commercialized by our spin-off, Scientific Analog, it still serves as a starting point for many research projects at MICS. Please take time to learn about XMODEL using the video below.
Introduction to XMODEL
Quiz: Which task is not suitable to do with XMODEL?*

Event-driven simulation of analog circuitsExtracting SystemVerilog models from analog circuitsOptimal sizing of analog circuitsEfficient verification of analog/mixed-signal circuits

Paper Reading

One of the reason why graduate study is a long journey is that you need to first find a meaningful research problem to solve, devise a solution to solve it, and explain to others why your solution is good using supporting results. The best way to learn this process to read many research papers. If you've never read any papers, we'd like to get you started when you are most motivated to do so.
Choose any one paper published from MICS. Read it thoroughly and answer the following questions. Each answer should be concise using one or two sentences, but must express the key content precisely.
What paper did you choose? *
What problem is the paper trying to address? (Problem Statement)*
What solution is the paper proposing to solve the problem? (Proposed Solution)*
What results did it present to show that the solution is good? (Supporting Results)*
