越来越小，速度更快的集成电路已经彻底改变了电子产品，从手机到起搏器，应运而生。集成电路是已经在单个半导体衬底上制造的小型电子电路（有源晶体管器件以及无源组件）。由于制造技术的不断改进，这些晶体管的物理尺寸继续减小-除了针对给定的基板面积集成了更多功能之外，还改善了晶体管性能。集成电路的研究包括设计新的电路拓扑，分析和实验，以利用这些新的晶体管改进。俄勒冈州立大学是模拟集成电路中该国最重要的计划之一，重点是传感器，能量收集，通信设备，其应用范围从物联网到电力系统。
Smaller and faster integrated circuits have revolutionized electronics for a broad range of applications from cell phones to pacemakers. Integrated circuits are miniaturized electronic circuits (both active transistor devices as well as passive components) that have been manufactured on a single semiconductor substrate. Due to continual manufacturing technology improvements, the physical size of these transistors continues to decrease - resulting in improved transistor performance in addition to the integration of more functionality for a given substrate area. The study of integrated circuits consists of designing new circuit topologies, analysis, and experimentation to take advantage of these new transistor improvements. Oregon State has one of the top programs in the country in analog integrated circuits emphasizing sensors, energy harvesting, communications devices for applications ranging from the Internet of Things to power systems.
