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
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
The courses present interactively the basics of nanoscopic 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 and a specific project which can involve simulations or calculations.
Evaluation methods
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the information in this section is particularly likely to change.
- Oral presentation of the student work on a scientific article to the other classmates.- Written evaluation on the content of the course
Other information
Background in solid state physics and besic semiconductor devices (e.g. : LELEC 1330)

Force majeure
Evaluation methods
In case where some students would not be able to attend the written exam for "covid reasons", an oral exam will take place at the same time as the programmed written exam for all the other students. The students concerned by this "cas de force majeure" should send an email to the teachers as soon as possible to organize the oral exam by TEAMS. In case the written exam would not be permitted at all due to covid reasons, the exam would become oral and by TEAMS for all the students.
