ELEG 667 – 016; MSEG-667  - Solid State Nanoelectronics – Fall 2005

Description:

This course provides a fresh look at nanotechnology from the perspective of electronic materials and devices.  The focus is on the underlying principles that enable a broad range of recent developments. The organization will provide a survey of current state of the art techniques and analytical methods that may become relevant for future nanoelectronics.  The intention of this course is to provide contemporary examples of nanotechnology that has not yet been covered in prior courses.
