Advanced electrical characterization methods for nano scale devices (2017, Fall)
Goal
This class covers advanced electrical characterization methods for electronic devices so that the student can utilize these methods in their research with good knowledge on the validity and limit of each method. 30% of class work will be allocated to the actual device measurement analysis.
