Course on Beyond CMOS Computing
Teaching Materials | 06 Jun 2013 | Contributor(s): Dmitri Nikonov
Complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) field effect transistors (FET) underpinned the development of electronics and information technology for the last 30 years. In an amazing saga of development, the semiconductor industry (with a leading role of Intel) has shrunk the size of these...
Notes on Scattering and Mobility in 1D, 2D, and 3D
Teaching Materials | 06 Nov 2009 | Contributor(s): Dmitri Nikonov, Md. Sayed Hasan, George Bourianoff
Derivation of the phonon-limited mobility is reviewed for electrons in bulk (3D) orquantum confined (2D and 1D) semiconductor structures. Analytical estimates are madethat show the mobility in quantum confined structures is, in general, lower or no higherthan in non-confined ones.
