2005 Molecular Conduction and Sensors Workshop

25 May 2005 | Workshops

This is the 3rd in a series of annual workshops on Molecular Conduction. The prior workshops have been at Purdue University, W. Lafayette, IN (2003) and Nothwestern University, Evanston, IL (2004). The workshop has been an informal and open venue for discussing new results, key challenges, and …

Notes on the Ballistic MOSFET

21 Nov 2005 | Publications | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom

When analyzing semiconductor devices, the traditional approach is to assume that carriers scatter frequently from ionized impurities, phonons, surface roughness, etc. so that the average distance between scattering events (the so-called mean-free-path, λ) is much shorter than the device. …

Homework for PN Junctions: Depletion Approximation (ECE 606)

09 Jan 2006 | Teaching Materials | Contributor(s): Muhammad A. Alam

This homework assignment is part of ECE 606 "Solid State Devices" (Purdue University). It contains 5 problems which lead students through a comparison of the depletion approximation and an exact solution of PN junction diodes. Students compute the exact solution by using the PN Junction Lab …

MATLAB Scripts for "Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor"

15 Mar 2005 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

Tinker with quantum transport models! Download the MATLAB scripts used to demonstrate the physics described in Supriyo Datta's book Quantum Transport: Atom to Transistor. These simple models are less than a page of code, and yet they reproduce much of the fundamental physics observed in experiments.

Simple Theory of the Ballistic MOSFET

19 Oct 2005 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom

Silicon nanoelectronics has become silicon nanoelectronics, but we still analyze, design, and think about MOSFETs in more or less in the same way that we did 30 years ago. In this talk, I will describe a simple analysis of the ballistic MOSFET. No MOSFET is truly ballistic, but …

Scientific Computing with Python
