This short course describes a way of understanding MOSFETs that is much more suitable than traditional approaches when the channel lengths are of nanoscale dimensions. lecture 1 reviews traditional MOSFET theory, and Lecture 2 presents the new approach in its simplest form. Lectures 3A and 3B describe the mathematical treatment of ballistic MOSFETs and Lecture 4 discusses at a simple level the physics of scattering in quasi-ballistic MOSFETs. Lecture 5 illustrates how this approach us used to analyze and interpret experimental data. Lectures 1-5 are based on a semi-classical treatment; in Lecture 6, an introduction to the quantum transport in nano-MOSFETs is provided. Finally, Lecture 7 connects this sort course to the "bottom up" approach of Supriyo Datta.
