Electronics From the Bottom Up: top-down/bottom-up views of length

By Muhammad Alam

Purdue University

Category Online Presentations
Abstract When devices get small stochastic effects become important. Random dopant effects lead to uncertainties in a MOSFET’s threshold voltage and gate oxides breakdown is a random process. Even a concept as simple as “channel length” becomes uncertain. This short (20 min) talk, a footnote to the presentation, “An Introduction to Electronics from the Bottom Up,” shows that these two seemingly unrelated problems are part of a more general problem involving percolative transport at the nanoscale.
