Bottom-up electronics
•Allows atomic precision in device fabrication
•Chemical synthesis is the ultimate form of mass
production
•Incorporate complexity to circuits at low cost
New guiding principle for electronics:
Start with atomically precise components, and build
increasingly complex circuits by chemical synthesis.
Self-assembly of electronic ink
memories
Volatile
DRAM, SRAM
Density - speed
Non-volatile
Magnetic, flash, molecular
Large-scale applications
Lighting – Philips nanowires
Solar cells – nanosys makes solar cells
Displays
labels RFID
Perspective
•It will not be possible to make transistors with similar
characteristics to CMOS transistors that are
significantly smaller than CMOS transistors.
•Exotic devices (single-electron transistors, spintronics,
interference devices) are impractical.
•The miniaturization of electronic circuits will end with
CMOS.
