Mark Lundstrom's new course, Nanoscale Transistors -- a five-week online course on the essential physics of modern MOSFETs. It aims to be broadly accessible (even to people without a background in transistors) but also to go beyond textbook treatments and show that one can easily understand and model in a very physical way sub-100 nm MOSFETs. It should be of interest not only to transistor technology developers, but also to materials scientists, physicists, and even circuit designers who are pushing the state of the art.

INSTRUCTOR
MARK LUNDSTROM is the
Don and Carol Scifres
Distinguished Professor of
Electrical and Computer
Engineering at Purdue
University. He is known for
his research on the limits of
transistors and for his simple,
conceptual model for the
nano-MOSFET. His book —
Fundamentals of Carrier
A five-week Transport (Cambridge, 2000)
— is a standard reference
course on the in the field. He is a Fellow
essential physics of the IEEE, the American
of nanoscale transistors Physical Society, and the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science
and has received several
awards in recognition of his
by Professor Mark Lundstrom, Purdue University research and teaching.
