Nanoelectronics Fundamentals. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course introduces fundamental theories of materials science and device physics for nanoelectronics. Specific topics include the quantum transport of electrons, phonons, and spin in nanoscale materials, emerging device concepts and new approaches for high-speed and low-energy electronics, and structure-property relations of low-dimensional nanomaterials. State-of-the-art nanofabrication technologies are also taught to provide students with useful insights into how modern nanoelectronic devices are fabricated. The projects include device fabrication in a cleanroom environment and advanced technical presentation in both written and oral formats. Offered by Electrical & Comp. Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
