Introduction to Nanoelectronics

Increasing miniaturization of devices components and integrated systems requires developments in the capacity to measure organize and manipulate matter at the nanoscale. This textbook first published in 2007 is a comprehensive interdisciplinary account of the technology and science that underpin nanoelectronics covering the underlying physics nanostructures nanomaterials and nanodevices. Without assuming prior knowledge of quantum physics this book provides a unifying framework for the basic ideas needed to understand the recent developments in the field. Numerous illustrations homework problems and interactive Java applets help the student to appreciate the basic principles of nanotechnology and to apply them to real problems. Written in a clear yet rigorous and interdisciplinary manner this textbook is suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in electrical and electronic engineering nanoscience materials bioengineering and chemical engineering.
