EE-656: Electronic Transport in Semiconductors
Fall Semesters, Even Years
Next Offering: Fall 2004
Course Objectives
The objective of the course is to develop a clear, physical understanding of charge carrier transport in bulk semiconductors and in small semiconductor devices. Part 1 focuses on semiclassical and quantum transport in ultrasmall devices for which scattering can be ignored. Part 2 discusses traditional transport theory, low-field coupled flow effects and hydrodynamic flow equations. Finally, Part 3 discusses the physics of scattering and the use of Monte Carlo simulation to explore its effects on transport - especially the spatial and temporal transients that occur in small semiconductor devices.
This course is part of a new Curriculum for Nanoelectronics and Computing that is being developed by the NASA University Research, Education and Technology Network for Computational Nanotechnology.
