Semiconductor devices II

EE-567 / 4 credits

Teacher(s): Ionescu Mihai Adrian, Kis Andras

Language: English

Summary

Students will learn about understanding the fundamentals and applications of emerging nanoscale devices, materials and concepts. Remark: at least 5 students should be enrolled for the course to be given

Content

  1. Advanced nm-channel CMOS devices (FinFET, UTB SOI, 2D materials, 3D integration, LiM)
  2. Steep slope devices, energy efficiency (Tunnel FETs, negative-capacitance devices)
  3. Neuromorphic devices and circuit architectures
  4. 2D materials – introduction and materials aspects
  5. FETs with 2D materials – switching, contact resistance, trap states
  6. Optoelectronics with 2D materials
  7. Emerging, post-CMOS concepts: valleytronics, spintronics, excitonic devices
