Leading edge CMOS technologies today are unique examples of nanoscale engineering at an industrial scale. As we celebrate this remarkable achievement of our industry that forms the ever-expanding technology basis of modern society we cannot help but ponder the question of how we can continue to push the envelope of nanoelectronics. With the end of Si FET scaling appearing increasingly near, sea...

Nanoelectronics presents the opportunity of incorporating billions of devices into a single system. Its opportunity is also its challenge: the economic design, verification, manufacturing, and testing of billion component systems. In this presentation I will explore how the abstractions used in computer systems change as we approach nanoscale dimensions.

atomic scale, their results can be compared to the predictions of density functional theory. Not surprisingly, these calculations suggest that the clusters deform when the tip makes contact with them, and that certain arrangements of the metal clusters are unstable — in agreement with the experimental observations. In particular, the researchers find that the contact conductance of the tip–mole...

Since at the regime of nanometer, quantum confinement effects are observed and wave nature electrons is more dominant. Therefore, classical approach current formulation in mesoelectonics nanoelectronics results inaccuracy as it does not consider effect, which only applicable for bulk electronic device. For accurate modeling simulation nanoelectronics, device atomic-level mechanical models requi...

It is well known that micro/nanomaterials exhibit many physical properties in the fields of heat transfer, energy conversion and storage, also have great prospects nanoelectronics, sensors, photonic devices biomedical applications [...]

full adder cell is often placed in the critical path of other circuits. therefore it plays an important role in determining the entire performance of digital system. moreover, portable electronic systems rely on battery and low-power design is another concern. in conclusion it is a vital task to design high-performance and low-power full adder cells. since delay opposes against power consumptio...
