Course Objective

This course covers a detailed investigation of nanoelectronics devices and circuits . It begins with an overview of microelectronics devices and circuits. After this introduction, nanoscale devices such as nanotubes, FinFET, Single electron transistor (SET) will be examined. Then nanoelectronics circuit design examples will be introduced. Modeling and simulation of nanoelectronics circuits will be examined. Finally fabrication and packaging of nanoelectronics circuits will be discussed. At least two term-projects will be given and evaluations will be used for measuring the success of the students.
