*Texts:

(a) Richard S. Muller (Univ. of California, Berkeley) and Theodore I. Kamins (Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, California) with Mansun Chan,  J. Wiley & Sons, 2003, Device Electronics for Integrated Circuits, 3rd Ed., ISBN 0-471-59398-2

(b) to be determined on Nanoelectronics: e.g.

or John H. Davies, The physics of low-dimensional semiconductors : an introduction;

or Supriyo Datta, Electronic Transport in Mesoscopic Systems

Reading assignments should be read before class discussion.

Grading: Final grade will be based on: 25 % for midterm exam, 30 % for homework, 10 % for course project and 35 % for the final exam.

Exams: All exams will be based on class notes, homework and reading and assignments from text; closed book.

Homework: Will be assigned weekly, no late homework accepted. Homework assignments will be posted on the course website at: :http://www.ece.udel.edu/~kolodzey/courses/eleg646s04.html

Course Project: Design, draw, analyze and explain your own idea for a new type of electronic device.  Grading criteria will be based on originality and the soundness of analysis. Fabrication limitations using present techniques will not detract from grade. A short report (2-3 pages) is due on Tuesday May 11 2003.
