Summary
This course provides the trends in nanoelectronics for scaling, better performances and lower energy per function. It covers fundamental phenomena of nanoscale devices, beyond CMOS steep slope switches, emerging architectures, cryo electronics, non-volatile memories and energy efficient smart sensin
Content
(1) Nanoscale CMOS technologies, technology boosters and potential showstoppers
(2) Phenomena specific to deep submicron devices:
- non-stationary phenomena (velocity overshoot)
- ballistic transport
- quantum effects
- atomic scale parameter fluctuation (fluctuation of number of dopants, interface roughness)
(3) Emerging multi-gate device architectures: Double-gate MOS transistor -DGMOS, nanowire gate-all-around transistor, vertical MOS transistors, 3D stacked multigate nanowire transistors
(4) Single Electronics : principle, technology, performance metrics, hybrid architectures
(5) Cryogenic electronics for quantum computing
(6) Beyond CMOS small swing switches for low standby power integrated circuits: tunnel FETs, phase-change switches, nano-electro-mechanical devices
(7) Emerging non-volatile memories: phase change memory, spin based memories, ferroelectric memory, polymer memory
(8) Carbon electronics: carbon nanotubes and graphene as new material options for functional diversification.
(9) Energy efficient smart sensing and computing for Internet-of-Things (IoT) with emphasis on wearable technology and its perspectives
(10) Integrated photonics to address the interconnect bottleneck
