Nanoelectronic Scaling Tradeoffs: What does Physics Have to Say?
Presentation Materials | 23 Sep 2003 | Contributor(s):: Victor Zhirnov
Beyond CMOS, several completely new approaches to information-processing and data-storage technologies and architectures are emerging to address the timeframe beyond the current SIA International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). A wide range of new ideas have been proposed for...

Nanoelectronics and the Future of Microelectronics
Online Presentations | 22 Aug 2002 | Contributor(s):: Mark Lundstrom
Progress in silicon technology continues to outpace the historic pace of Moore's Law, but the end of device scaling now seems to be only 10-15 years away. As a result, there is intense interest in new, molecular-scale devices that might complement a basic silicon platform by providing it...

Quantum-dot Cellular Automata
Online Presentations | 24 Nov 2003 | Contributor(s):: Craig S. Lent
The multiple challenges presented by the problem of scaling transistor sizes are all related to the fact that transistors encode binary information by the state of a current switch. What is required is a new paradigm, still capable of providing general purpose digital computation, but which can...

Towards a Terahertz Solid State Bloch Oscillator
Online Presentations | 29 Jan 2004 | Contributor(s):: S. James Allen
The concepts of Bloch oscillation and Zener breakdown are fundamental to electron motion in periodic potentials and were described in the earliest theoretical developments of electron transport in solids. But only in the past 10 years have experiments clearly demonstrated various aspects of Bloch...

Inelastic Effects in Molecular Conduction
Online Presentations | 12 Apr 2004 | Contributor(s):: Abraham Nitzan
Molecular electron transfer, as treated by the Marcus theory, strongly depends on nuclear motion as a way to achieve critical configurations in which charge rearrangement is possible. The electron tunneling process itself is assumed to occur in a static nuclear environment. In the application of...

Electrical Conduction through Molecules
Papers | 08 Jul 2003 | Contributor(s):: Ferdows Zahid, Magnus Paulsson, Supriyo Datta
In recent years, several experimental groups have reported measurements of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of individual or small numbers of molecules. Even three-terminal measurements showing evidence of transistor action has been reported using carbon nanotubes as well as...

Mini-Workshop on Carbon-Nanotube FETs
Workshops | 13 May 2003
This informal one-day workshop was intended to discuss theory, modeling, and simulation for CNT-electronics, specifically FETs. The objective was to kick off an NSF-funded project on the modeling and simulatin of CNT-electronics. A small group of experimentalists, theorists, and computational...

Resistance of a Molecule
Papers | 29 Apr 2003 | Contributor(s):: Magnus Paulsson, Ferdows Zahid, Supriyo Datta
In recent years, several experimental groups have reported measurements of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of individual or small numbers of molecules. Even three-terminal measurements showing evidence of transistor action has been reported using carbon nanotubes [1, 2] as well as...

Theory of Ballistic Nanotransistors
Papers | 27 Nov 2002 | Contributor(s):: Anisur Rahman, Jing Guo, Supriyo Datta, Mark Lundstrom
Numerical simulations are used to guide the development of a simple analytical theory for ballistic field-effect transistors. When two-dimensional electrostatic effects are small, (and when the insulator capacitance is much less than the semiconductor (quantum) capacitance), the model reduces to...
