20810202 - MICRO AND NANOTECNOLOGY ELECTRONICS

Aim of the course is to analyze the main micro and nano electronic technologies used for high frequencies, organic and diplay electronics. Emerging technologies, such as graphene, Quantum Wires (QW) and Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) will be also analyzed. The course will be completed by a detailed analysis of quantum computing.
