Announcements

  • Oct. 11th No class on Oct. 12th, the university is closed.
  • Oct. 5th The first homework has been posted that is due 19/10/2015 before 13:30.
  • Sept. 12th The class is given in the room Z2 (ground floor), EEF.

Overview

As current CMOS based technologies are approaching their anticipated limits, emerging nanotechnologies are expected to replace their role in electronic circuits. This course overviews nanoelectronic circuits in a comparison with those of conventional CMOS-based. Deterministic and probobalistic emerging computing models are investigated. Regarding the interdisciplinary nature of emerging technologies, this course is appropriate for graduate students in different majors including electronics engineering, control engineering, computer science, applied physics, and mathematics. No prior course is required; only basic (college-level) knowledge in circuit design and mathematics is assumed. Topics that are covered include:

  • Devices in computational nanoelectronics (in comparison with CMOS) including nano arrays, switches, and transistors.
  • Introduction of emerging computing models in circuit level.
  • Analysis and synthesis of deterministic and probabilistic models.
  • Performance of the computing models regarding area, power, speed, and accuracy.
  • Uncertainty and defects: defect tolerance techniques for permanent and transient errors.
