Research in nanoelectronics poses new challenges for metrology, but advances in theory, simulation and computing and networking technology provide new opportunities to couple simulation and metrology. This paper begins with a brief overview of current work in computational nanoelectronics. Three examples of how computation can assist metrology will then be discussed. The paper concludes with a ...

We consider a circuit paradigm that combines conventional silicon microelectronics with emerging self-assembled nanoelectronics. Peripheral CMOS circuitry is used to drive the input signals and restore the output signals of nanoscale crossbar structures. We address a number of issues dealing with interfacing CMOS and nanoelectronics. Furthermore, we consider important metrics, such as, delay, a...

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

After completing his B.E. from the University of Mysore and M.Tech. from I.I.T. Bombay, Professor Bhat did his Ph. D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1996. He then worked at Motorola's Networking and Computing Systems Group in Austin, TX. He joined the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1999 where he is currently a Professor in the Centre for Nano Science and Engine...

The six articles in this special section provide a broad perspective on future computing paradigms based nanoelectronic technology. Nanoelectronics, as the word implies, is literally electronics at nanoscale, i.e., with characteristic feature sizes less than 50 nm. By most measures, semiconductor microelectronics industry today largest and successful example of nanoelectronics nanotechnology ge...

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials constitute one of the most advanced research targets in materials science and engineering this century. Among various methods for synthesis 2D nanomaterials, including top-down exfoliation bottom-up crystal growth, chemical has been widely used to yield monolayers layered compounds, such as clay minerals, transition metal chalcogenides (TMDCs), oxides, long be...
