Molecular Nanoelectronics: A future perspective

The conventional VLSI technology based on lithography is reaching its limits and the extension of Moore’s Law for small-scale conventional silicon based integrated circuits is gaining significance. Developments in the area of molecular electronics devices offer an alternative approach to overcome this problem and have the potential to miniaturize the computational devices down to few nm. This i...

Nanogap structures for molecular nanoelectronics

This study is focused on the realization of nanodevices for nano and molecular electronics, based on molecular interactions in a metal-molecule-metal (M-M-M) structure. In an M-M-M system, the electronic function is a property of the structure and can be characterized through I/V measurements. The contact between the metals and the molecule was obtained by gold nanogaps (with a dimension of les...

Introduction to NanoElectronics

Prospects of Silicon Nanoelectronics

Silicon technology and nanoelectronics are two important components which will shape the future of the IC industry. This paper discusses their mutual interaction, i.e. the contribution that nanotechnology may o er to the evolution of MOS processing, as well as the role that silicon technology could play in the projected development of nanoelectronic
