Synopsis
|
:
|
This
course offers an introduction to modeling and simulation of microelectronic
devices. Today, computer-aided
design has become an affordable and in fact necessary tool for designing
contemporary devices. The purpose
of this course is to provide fundamental device modeling techniques with
emphasis on the silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistor
(MOSFET). Examples on modeling
carbon-based materials such as carbon nanotubes and graphene are also
explored. There are discussions on crystal structure of solid, quantum
system, carrier transport properties in 3D, 2D and 1D system. The goal of this course is to provide fundamental concepts
and basic tools for transistor-level
simulation that can be enhanced for circuit simulation.
