This article is dedicated to HfO2-based ferroelectrics applications in nanoelectronics, especially topics not well developed up now, such as microwaves, energy harvesting, and neuromorphic devices working artificial neurons synapses. Other well-covered the literature, memories or negative-capacitance ferroelectric field-effect transistors, will be only briefly mentioned. The main impact of poss...

We describe here a new strategy for computation and computer design optimized for simulation of complex (chaotic) dynamical systems. This strategy has the potential for performance many orders of magnitude higher than conventional digital computers. It combines three emerging technologies, collectively referred to as nanologic: (1) analog nanoelectronics; (2) adaptive analog arrays; and (3) top...

This paper makes the case for perturbation-based computational models as a promising choice for implementing next generation ubiquitous information technology on unreliable nanotechnologies. We show the inherent robustness of such computational models to high defect densities and performance uncertainty which, when combined with low manufacturing precision requirements, makes them particularly ...

By scaling down the feature size of CMOS technology deeply in nanoranges, many problems and challenges, such as short channel effects, will restrict its usefulness for the near future robust and energy efficient applications. The CNFET nanodevice seems to be a feasible alternative for bulk CMOS due to its unique electrical properties and similarities with MOSFET. In this paper, efficient CNFET-...

Engineering programs that have introduced nanotechnology into their curriculum typically add material into core classes or have added a separate set of nanotechnology courses. Increasing the number of courses can be a challenge for colleges with limited resources and faculty and it is not easy to make significant changes to the curriculum all in one step. This paper looks at an alternative that...

Transfer printing methods are used to pattern and assemble monolithic carbon nanotube (CNT) thin-film transistors on large-area transparent, flexible substrates. Airbrushed CNT thin-films with sheet resistance 1 kX sq 1 at 80% transparency were used as electrodes, and high quality chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown CNT networks were used as the semiconductor component. Transfer printing was ...
