Content
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.

Teaching methods
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.
Evaluation methods
- Oral presentation of the student work on a scientific article to the other classmates.
- Written evaluation on the content of the course
- Written evaluation on the content of the course
Other information
Background in solid state physics and besic semiconductor devices.
