This course provides a fundamental knowledge in nanotechnology. It focuses on the new
physical phenomena due to the reduction of device dimension and the new applications as a
result of these new phenomena. The topics include nano-materials, nano-processing,
nanoelectronics, nano-photonics, nano-biotechnology, nano-MEMS and nano-integration.
Students will learn what should be considered in the nano-world, what new applications we
might be benefited from, and what precautions we need to pay attention when dealing with
issues in the nano-world.

Advanced circuit analysis including dependent sources; second order circuits; Laplace transforms with applications; frequency response; 2-port networks; coupled circuits; power relationships.
