4 Nanoelectronics Now or Never?" IEDM Evening Panel Discussion, December 14, 4 Session 26: 8:00 p.m. Continental Ballroom 6-9 Moderator: Mark Lundstrom, Purdue University "Nanoelectronics Now or Never?" Traditional 'top-down' microelectronics has become nanoelectronics with device dimensions comparable to those being explored in the new field of ëbottom-up' nano- and molecular electronics. We use the terms, top-down and bottom-up, in a very general sense. Top-down refers to a way of thinking and building that begins at the macro (continuum) scale and pushes to the nanoscale. Bottom-up refers to a way of thinking and building that begins at the atomistic level and builds up to the nanoscale. The top-down approach has already delivered silicon MOSFETs with channel lengths of ~ 5nm, but scaling down device dimensions with commensurate increase in device and system performance is increasingly challenging. Bottom-up technology has demonstrated molecular switches, nanotube and nanowire FET's, NDR and single electron devices, and ultradense memory prototypes. Is bottom-up nanotechnology ready to address the industry's challenges, or is it still long-term research with essentially unpredictable outcomes? This panel will debate the question of what the intersection of top-down and bottom-up electronics will mean to semiconductor technology of the future.

5 Carbon Nanotube Growth 5

6 Reason Carbon Nanotubes are Interesting 6 Fundamental physics and chemistry changes when the dimensions of a solid becomes comparable to one or more of these characteristic lengths, many of which are in the nanometer range. Example: Size of semiconducting material is in the order of the wavelength of the electrons and holes. Electronic structure and transport completely changes

It is not an Attempt to violate any laws; it is something, in Principle, that can be done; but in practice, it Has not been done because we are too big Richard Feynman
