The design of the integrated circuits used to implement computers and associated hardware contains some core material. This core includes basic properties of materials, the structure of inverters, combinational and sequential logic structures, and memories and logic arrays. This is a very broad area and it is expected that there will be a great deal of variation between programs in the coverage of topics outside the core
