*Texts:
(a) Richard S. Muller (Univ. of California, Berkeley) and Theodore I. Kamins (Hewlett-Packard Laboratories, Palo Alto, California) J. Wiley & Sons, 1986, Device Electronics for Integrated Circuits, 2nd Ed.,
(b) to be determined on Nanoelectronics: e.g.
K. Eric Drexler, Nanosystems: molecular machinery, manufacturing, and computation;
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 closed book, based on class notes, homework and reading and assignments from text.
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/eleg667s03.htm
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 May 20, 2003.
