Summary
Summary
For undergraduate courses in nanoelectronics. This is the first actual nanoelectronics textbook for undergraduate engineering and applied sciences students. It provides an introduction to nanoelectronics, as well as a self-contained overview of the necessary physical concepts -- taking a fairly gentle but serious approach to a field that will be extremely important in the near future.
