Subject of the course content: State-of-the-art in Si transistor technology in the context of Moore’s law. Scaling MOSFET transistor. Short channel MOSFET (phenomena specific to deep submicron devices: mobility degradation, threshold voltage roll off, saturation velocity, quantum effects: confinement and tunnelling, ballistic limit). Ultimate CMOS technologies and their showstoppers - innovative device architectures (Double-gate MOS transistor -DGMOS, FinFET, gate-all-around transistor - GAA). Nano-scale and quantum devices: Single Electron Transistor (SET), Nanowire Transistors, Carbon Nanotube Transistor (CNT), ReRAM. Simulation tools for micro- and nanoelectronic devices.
