ECE-453: Introduction to Nanoelectronics

Fall 2005: MWF 3:30-4:20 p.m. EE 117

Course Objective

To convey the basic concepts of nanoelectronics to electrical engineering students with no background in quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.

Course Description

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 parameters like mobility or diffusion coefficient and a microscopic or atomistic viewpoint is called for. The purpose of this course is to convey the conceptual framework that underlies this microscopic viewpoint using examples related to the emerging field of nanoelectronics.

Online Lectures

Lectures are available as online presentations on the nanoHUB. The lectures are encoded with Macromedia Breeze and only require installation of the Flash Player.
