This short course explored a wide
range of computational approaches used for the simulations of
electron devices and Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS). The
first week covered nanotransistors, molecular devices and MEMS. The
second week covered continuum
(drift-diffusion), particle Monte Carlo, and quantum approaches for
device simulation, and introduced applications of carbon nanotubes
and biological ion channels. Practical simulation experience
was stressed using a variety of computational tools available
on-line at the Purdue Computational Hub (PUNCH).
