A shift to carbon is positioning biology as a synthesis process in mainstream engineering, with carbon-based electronics replacing silicon and devices shrinking to nanometer scales. Traditionally, engineers are trained in physics, chemistry, and mathematics; however, this text establishes biology as a crucial science for engineers. It offers a comprehensive review of nanoelectronic transport, covering quantum waves, ohmic and ballistic conduction, and saturation-limited extreme nonequilibrium conditions. The author introduces a new paradigm using the non-equilibrium Arora's Distribution Function (NEADF) as a foundation for understanding carrier statistics from band theory to extreme nonequilibrium. The focus is on the design and development of nano-electronic devices, particularly carbon-based ones, providing insights into the future of nanoelectronics and ULSI. The text comprises ten chapters, converting electric-field responses of drift velocity into current-voltage relationships influenced by critical voltage and saturation current. It applies these concepts to nano-MOSFETs and includes specialized applications through suggested projects with MATLAB(R) codes. This work presents the latest research in nanoelectronics, addresses design challenges, and explores future trends. Print versions also grant access to the ebook.
