JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objective:

This course is intended to cover basics of electronics, transistor, band structure models, nanocapacitors, coulomb blockade, single electron transistor and nanophotonics.

Course Outcomesy:

• 1. To know nanoelectronics holds the capacity for mass production of high-quality nanodevices with an enormous variety of applications from computers to biosensors, from cell phone to space shuttles and from large display screens to small electronic toys.
• 2. To know the scaling of transistors and other devices to smaller and smaller sizes, which has provided the basis for this exponential growth, has limits, physical (size of the atoms), technological (lithography) and economic, which will be reached by nanoelectronics in the next coming decade.
• 3. In the near future from photonics, molecular electronics or revolutionary engineering solutions, such as departure from two-dimensional ICs on the surface of silicon wafers to three-dimensional structures. All these gigantic challenges and potential nanotechnology solutions are actively debated.
