Content
The courses present interactively the basics of nanoscopic devices and analyzes their behavior. In that framework, the teachers put forward the potential positive environmental impacts of new concepts in comparison with more mainstream technologies.
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
- Evaluation of the written report and oral presentation of the research work carried out on the basis of a scientific article. The work may involve the simulation, calculation or measurement of transport properties of nanoelectronic devices.
- Written evaluation on the content of the course
- Written evaluation on the content of the course
Other information
