Nano Electronics

Description

Nanoelectronics is the use of nanotechnology in electronic components. The term covers devices and materials that are so small that inter-atomic interactions and quantum mechanical properties need to be extensively understood. Some of these aspects include: hybrid molecular/semiconductor electronics, one-dimensional nanotubes/nanowires, or advanced molecular electronics. Recent silicon CMOS technology generations, such as the 22 nanometer node, are already within this regime.
Nanoelectronics are vital in the field of engineering and electronics. Nanoelectronics make use of scientific techniques at atomic scale for developing the nano-machines. The main target is to reduce the size, risk factor and surface areas of the materials and molecules. Machines under nano electronic process undergo a long range of manufacturing steps, each with accurate molecular treatment. Individual part of the machine is handled atomically. Many integrated circuits called microelectronics are present in nano electronic devices. Semiconductor electronics have undergone a sustained exponential reduction in size and cost, and a similar augment in performance and level of integration, over the last thirty years. Molecular scale electronics are also called single-molecule-electronics. Single molecules constitute the smallest stable structures imaginable. This miniaturisation is the ultimate goal for shrinking electrical circuits.
This book on nanoelectronics is intended as an introduction to the field of nanotechnology for nanoelectronics vendors, researchers and students who want to pursue a profession in fields that utilise these emerging scientific developments. The author is a well-reputed specialist in this field.
