The role of laser assisted atom probe tomography (APT) in microelectronics is discussed on the basis of various illustrations related to SiGe epitaxial layers, bipolar transistors or MOS nano-devices including gate all around (GAA) devices that were carried out at the Groupe de Physique des Matériaux of Rouen (France). 3D maps as provided by APT reveal the atomic-scale distribution of dopants a...

MIT team observed that although the ion permeability of an intact graphene membrane was negligible compared with that of a membrane that contained a nanopore, it was not zero and it was different for different cations, which indicates that electrolyte–graphene interactions need to be taken into account6. Evidence of DNA– graphene interactions was also observed6–8. These interactions will need t...

Published by the IEEE Computer Society 0018-9162/11/$26.00 © 2011 IEEE For many computer architects, the first challenge takes priority. After all, we are used to operating under the protection of well-designed abstractions that permit our architectures to accommodate anything from ideal switches to the least palatable of devices that might be foisted upon us. However, the nanodevices that prev...

Electronics obtained through the bottom-up approach of molecular-level control of material composition and structure may lead to devices and fabrication strategies not possible with top-down methods. This review presents a brief summary of bottom-up and hybrid bottom-up/top-down strategies for nanoelectronics with an emphasis on memories based on the crossbar motif. First, we will discuss repre...

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...

As nanoelectronic devices based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are moving towards maturity, optimization of the properties active 2D material must be accompanied by equal attention to optimizing and interfaces other around it, such as electrodes, gate dielectrics, substrate. While these usually either or 3D materials, recently K. Liu et al. [Nat. Electron. 4, 906 (2021)] reported use zero-di...

Organic Semiconductors 3D printing of electronics has received growing attention due to their potential applications in emerging fields such as nanoelectronics and nanophotonics. In article number 2200512, Mohammad Reza Abidian co-workers introduce a homogenous transparent photosensitive resin doped with an organic semiconductor material compatible the multiphoton lithography process fabricate ...
