Fundamentals of Nanoelectronics (Fall 2004)

07 Dec 2005 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta, Behtash Behinaein

Welcome to the ECE 453 lectures. The development of "nanotechnology" has made it possible to engineer material and devices on a length scale as small as several nanometers (atomic distances are ~ 0.1 nm). The properties of such "nanostructures" cannot be described in terms of macroscopic …

ECE 612 Nanoscale Transistors (Fall 2006)

08 Aug 2006 | Courses | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom

This course examines the device physics of advanced transistors and the process, device, circuit, and systems considerations that enter into the development of new integrated circuit technologies.

Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor (Spring 2004)

07 Aug 2006 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

The development of "nanotechnology" has made it possible to engineer materials and devices on a length scale as small as several nanometers (atomic distances are ~ 0.1 nm). The properties of such "nanostructures" cannot be described in terms of macroscopic parameters like mobility and diffusion …

Carrier Transport at the Nanoscale

27 Nov 2007 | Courses | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom

This is a course about how charge flows in semiconductors with an emphasis on transport at the nanoscale. After a brief review basic concepts, the course consists of four parts. Part 1 focuses on ballistic (and quasi-ballistic) transport both semiclassical and quantum. Part 2 treats …

Reliability Physics of Nanoscale Transistors

27 Nov 2007 | Courses | Contributor(s): Muhammad Alam

This course will focus on the physics of reliability of small semiconductor devices. In traditional courses on device physics, we learn how to compute current through a device when a voltage is applied. However, as transistors are turned on and off trillions of times during the years of the …
