Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

Content
Courses are oriented by student questions in order to enlight at best the numerous new concepts of nanoelectronics. Students work on specific developments that are then shared with the other classmates.
Teaching methods
The courses present interactively the basics of nanocopic devices and analyzes their behavior.
The project focuses on understanding more deeply a choosen key device in nanoelectronics. This is based on a bibliographic research.
