This course will address the basic concepts of nanoelectronics, including fundamental principles, novel electronic
materials, novel fabrication techniques and devices. In particular, it will focus on novel nanofabrication techniques
including nanolithography, growth and assembly processes, and characterization techniques to validate its fabrication
process related to the area of Nanoelectronics. It will also address the technical issues to develop nano-scale
elements/devices including single electron devices, carbon nanotubes as interconnects or transistors, nanowires,
graphene materials and devices, spintronic applications and eventually complex organic molecules as memory and logic
units.
