  1. Nanoelectronics and the Meaning of Resistance

    20 Aug 2008 | Courses | Contributor(s): Supriyo Datta

    The purpose of this series of lectures is to introduce the "bottom-up" approach to nanoelectronics using concrete examples. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics is assumed; however, familiarity with matrix algebra will be helpful for some topics. Day 1: What...

  2. Physics of Nanoscale MOSFETs

    26 Aug 2008 | Courses | Contributor(s): Mark Lundstrom

    Transistor scaling has pushed channel lengths to the nanometer regime where traditional approaches to MOSFET device physics are less and less suitable This short course describes a way of understanding MOSFETs that is much more suitable than traditional approaches when the channel lengths are of...

  3. Introductory Comments

    29 Sep 2008 | Online Presentations | Contributor(s): Muhammad A. Alam

  4. Percolation Theory

    03 Nov 2008 | Courses | Contributor(s): Muhammad A. Alam

    The electronic devices these days have become so small that the number of dopant atoms in the channel of a MOFET transistor, the number of oxide atoms in its gate dielectric, the number silicon- or metal crystals in nanocrystal Flash memory, the number of Nanowires in a flexible nanoNET...
