CODE 80662 ACADEMIC YEAR 2016/2017 CREDITS 5 cfu anno 2 INGEGNERIA ELETTRONICA (LM-29) - SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR ING-INF/01 LANGUAGE Italiano TEACHING LOCATION SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MICROCIRCUITS DESIGN AND NANOTECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW The course provides the basic knowledge of quantum system physics and an overview of the methods and tools useful to build up and characterize nanometer scale materials and devices with novel properties, thus letting the students understand the physical principles of new nanodevices. AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims at providing the basic knowledge of the physics related to quantum systems and the features of the nanoscale technologies in order to let students develop a sensitivity to their use and to manage the related scientific problems. The basic theoretical foundations will be provided by giving evidence to the applicative aspects with particular attention to micro and nanostructures. TEACHING METHODS Classroom lectures. SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction to quantum mechanics and solution of Schrödinger equation for basic nanostructures. Properties of quantum systems. Quantum wells, quantum wires, quantum dots. Scanning probe microscopy techniques Nanoscale technologies and theoretical and experimental aspects of fabrication and characterization of nanomaterials and nanodevices.
