EE 6183 - Nanoelectronic Devices and Applications
Introduces fundamental and advanced concepts required for the understanding of electronic and ionic transport in micro and nanoscale devices. Reviews theory elements such as effective mass, band structure, electrostatics, screening, low and high-field transport, and scattering. Explores novel design tools and numerical techniques used for simulation of practical devices. Examines more closely the structure, operation, design principles, advantages and disadvantages, applications and future prospects for a wide range of traditional (diodes, MOSFETs, bipolar transistors etc.) and advanced (MODFETs, HBTs, nanowire and nanotube transistors, single-electron transistors, memristors, graphene devices, plasmonic devices, bio-molecular devices). On an orthogonal direction, surveys a number of critical technology fronts that many of devices reviewed may play an important role (ultra-low or high-power applications, high-performance solar devices, flexible electronics, THz devices and bio-nano sensors).
Requisites: EE 5183 and familiarity with the introductory level semiconductor devices course is useful for all students.
