Description

Overview of the current status of VLSI chip technology and its limits, including Moore's Laws. The principles of semiconductor band-gap engineering and the use of advanced heterostructure materials such as GaAs and SiGe. Applications of band-gap engineering in devices such as high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs), resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) and semiconductor lasers. Future trends using quantum principles, such as quantum wire devices, single electron transistors (SETs) and quantum computers. Semiconductor nanofabrication technologies for advanced devices.
