Course content
In this course, students will learn the technology trend and issue of nanoelectronics focusing on LSI scaling including advanced transistors, interconnects, and their reliability through the lectures. In addition, nanocarbon materials will be focused as nanomaterials and the fabrication process, characterization methods, and some device applications will be reviewed. Students will investigate the research and market trend of nanoelectronics such as IoT, AI, car, robotics, life, health-care, energy, environment, space, and etc depending on their interests in groups. Each student takes a part in the group-work and will make a presentation.
