Prerequisites: ECE 428 or ECE 438. : Distributed algorithms for wired networks, including algorithms for consensus, clock synchronization, mutual exclusion, broadcast; proofs of correctness of distributed algorithms; fault-tolerant distributed algorithms; distributed algorithms for wireless networks. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
	53612	Lecture	XL	9:30AM -10:50AM	TR	204 Transportation Building	Li, X	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/22/11-12/07/11 Credit: 4 hours Section Info: Topic: Semiconductor Nanotechnology. Prerequisities: ECE 440 or equivalent requried. ECE 498JL high recommended. The course starts with a brief overview nanotechnology in general then focuses on the synthesis methods of various building blocks, including an in-depth tutorial of applications of epitaxial growth (MOCVD/MBE) in nanostructure growth. The correlation between growth parameter variation with topography, microstructure, defect and impurity incorporations will be discussed. For nanostructure characterization, the focus will be on spatially and time-resolved optical characterization and its correlation with morphological, chemical and electrical properties. The discussion of nano-devices will be application-orientated with categories including energy conversion (photovoltaic, thermoelectric, etc.), light emission and detection (LEDs, lasers, and detectors), IC roadmap, and chemical and biological sensing etc. The course will conclude with discussions on perspectives on nano-device integration and manufacturing. Examples used throughout the lecture and discussions will be dynamic as the frontier of literatures continues to evolve. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.
