About This Course

This course will began with the basic concepts of transistors’ fundamentals and then proceed by the advanced topics like how to relate the nano transistors with the nano devices and also the operations of nano transistors. In this course participants will also learn about the ballistic transistors and the flow of electrons in the modern transistors on the basis of Landauer Approach. This course will provide the understanding of MOSFETs.

Nano means small (10^-9 m) but of high potency, emerging with large applications piercing through all the discipline of knowledge, leading to industrial and technological growth and Nanotechnology is a catch-all phrase for materials and devices that operate at the nanoscale. This course will provide the complete knowledge of all such terms, that’s why plays an important role in today’s scenario.

Why Take This Course?

This course will provide the clear understanding of Nanotechnology and nano transistors. This course is free, online, globally recognized and will give you tremendous benefits in future.

Participants will receive an instructor-signed certificate with the institution’s logo to verify your achievement. The course is rich in high-quality text, images, video, audio and interactive elements to support your learning.
