Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
The student must have completed the compulsory subjects of the master's degree, especially Quantum Technologies and Engineering
Objectives
The evolution of electronics goes through the miniaturization of devices down to nanometric levels. This reduction in size allows for an increase in packing density, an increase in the capacities of electronic devices and a reduction in consumption. But this also implies the appearance of new non-classical phenomena, the need for new materials and the development of new designs. In this sense, the objective of the subject is to have knowledge of the new nanoelectronic technologies, components and materials that are emerging and being incorporated into electronic systems with high added value in fields such as nanotechnology and bioengineering.
