一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>This course will give a general but advanced introduction to the field of nanoelectronics which use quantum phenomena to realize new functions or devices and new building blocks aimed at replacing or upgrading the conventional silicon technology. This course will start with discussion of the inherent limitations of device miniaturization, followed by the basic properties of nanostructure systems and the carrier transport. In the part of nanoscale devices we will focus on quantum dot, molecular electronics, semiconducting nanowires, and spin electronics.
