ECE 5095 - Nanotechnology I

3 Credits (Minimum) 3 Credits (Maximum)

Application to advanced semiconductors and oxide electronics in which electron-electron interactions dictate device operations is the final goal of the series. Advanced device technology in the nanometer scale era and advances in strongly correlated electron devices need specialized knowledge in many areas of quantum physics which involve Non-Equilibrium Green’s Function (NEGF) formalism and advanced techniques of quantum field theory in condensed matter. Students pursuing MSEE and PhD programs are encouraged to have knowledge in these formalisms in order to conduct research in advanced areas of device physics. The treatment is essentially an engineering application of fundamental formalisms in practical applications. Only advanced undergraduates with an interest in MSEE and PhD in Physics or Electrical Engineering may take this course with instructor permission. Meets with ECE 4095.
