一、課程說明(Course Description)
<br>
<br>This course will give a general but advanced introduction to the field of 
<br>nanoelectronics which use quantum phenomena to realize new functions or devices 
<br>and new building blocks aimed at replacing or upgrading the conventional silicon 
<br>technology. This course will start with discussion of the inherent limitations of 
<br>device miniaturization, followed by the basic properties of nanostructure systems 
<br>and the carrier transport. In the part of nanoscale devices we will focus on 
<br>quantum dot, molecular electronics, semiconducting nanowires, and spin 
<br>electronics. 
<br>
<br>
<br>二、指定用書(Text Books)
<br>
<br>The lecture notes (text format) will be written by the instructor and distributed 
<br>chapter by chapter.
