13038 - Nanoelectronics Modulübersicht

Module Number: 13038
Module Title:Nanoelectronics
  Nanoelektronik
Department: Faculty 1 - Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology
Responsible Staff Member:
  • PD Dr. rer. nat. habil. Wulf, Ulrich
Language of Teaching / Examination:English
Duration:1 semester
Frequency of Offer: On special announcement
Credits: 6
Learning Outcome:After successfully completing the module, students master the basics of nanoelectronics especially methods of acquiring knowledge as well as their exemplified application. Furthermore, social skills of the students as accuracy, perseverance, curiosity, own initiative etc. have been promoted.
Contents:We discuss the physics of the most important nanoelectronic devices:
  • resonant tunneling diode
  • nano-FET (nano field-effect transistor)
  • laser diode
For each of these devices a basic quantum mechanical description is derived. Subsequently the numerical evaluation of the theory is demonstrated. In the exercices the student learns to apply existing software solutions. The calculated characteristics will be compared with experimental results. In a more detailed treatment elements of advanced quantum mechanics are introduced. These are the application of Greens functions or Fermi's golden rule.
Recommended Prerequisites:Knowledge of basic quantum mechanics.
