3.00 Credits
This course will discuss the development of wide bandgap semiconductors, including III-V Nitrides, II-VI semiconductors, SiC and diamond. Growth, material properties, device physics and technology will be addressed. The class will consist of reading and analysis of research papers, writing reports, discussions, and oral presentations. Students will be required to think independently, come up with new ideas, and work under the instructor's guidance with the intention of publishing their work.

3.00 Credits
Hybrid systems (systems combining finite state machines with differential equations) have successfully been used as models of the most diverse engineering applications including: realtime software, embedded systems, robotics, mechatronics, aeronautics, process control and biological systems. This couse will survey recent techniques for the analysis and synthesis of hybrid systems with special emphasis on formal verification and design of embeded, real-time systems. The couse is interdisciplinary in nature, combining topics from computer science and control theory and therefore appealing to graduate students in applied mathematics, aerospace and mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and computer science and engineering.

3.00 Credits
This course teaches the fundamentals of radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit design for wireless communications. Students will learn the principles of heterodyning, feedback, and noise, and design techniques for low noise and high power amplifiers, mixers, oscillators, synthesizers, and phased-lock loops. An aim of this course is to develop an understanding of the physical and technological limits which dictate the performance of wireless systems.
-
1.00 Credits
This course introduces several mathematical topics that are useful in research of communication systems, and that are not fully covered in previous courses. These topics include asymptostic analyses, random matrices, and large deviations. Basic concepts and key properties will be introduced first, then their relevance in communications will be exemplified by applications. Background knowledge of calculus, linear algebra, and probability is requried. Knowledge of communications is desired, but not necessary.

1.00 Credits
In this one credit course, students will study selected pioneering papers in semiconductors, chosen to provide a greater understanding of the origins, issues, and limits in current device and circuit technology, and seed new device thinking. We will begin with foundational papers on the invention of the MOSFET, the DRAM, and the current-mode sense amplifier, and the study the performance limits of the MOSFETs. As the semester proceeds, class discussion will seed the selection of further topics to deepen our understanding of energy constraints in devices and circuits.

3.00 Credits
This course will provide the students with a solid background in electron beams, particularly scanning electron microscopy, and use that to address electron beam lithography technology. An introduction to vacuum systems will be provided. Other topis include focused ion beams and scanning probe techniques.
-
3.00 Credits
Engineering system theory is applied to the problem of constructing qualitative dynamical models for the moral decision making process.
-
2.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to historical perspective and the emergence of million processor systems. Willl cover the 3 m ain steps in logic machines, the 3 levels of dynamical systems description, the role of space, Cellular Nonlinear Network, Celluar Wave computer Architecture, and Cellular supercomputer and morphisms.
-
1.00 Credits
This seminar course introduces first-year graduate students to Notre Dame research in Electronic Materials and Devices. Students will select research advisors and rotate through 3 research groups during the semester. In these rotations, the stdent will attend group meetings, meet and work with senior graduate stuents, and participate in the reserach life of the department. After the rotation experience, the student will submit a rank order list of their preferred research advisor and submit it for placement with a permanent researach advisor in their area of interest.
