In modern VLSI technologies, device electrical characteristics are sensitive to structural details and therefore to fabrication techniques. This course addresses the following questions: How are advanced VLSI devices designed and what future changes are likely? What are the implications for device electrical performance caused by fabrication techniques?
Topics Include
- Physical models for nanometer scale structures
- Control of electrical characteristics (threshold voltage, short channel effects, ballistic transport) in small structures
- Alternative device structures for VLSI
