“If I were asked for an area of science and engineering that will most likely produce the breakthroughs of tomorrow, I would point to nanoscale science and engineering.” (…)
Neal Lane, Assistant to former US President Clinton for science and technology
The Impact of Nano
“The total societal impact of nanotechnology is expected to be much greater than that of the silicon integrated circuit because it is applicable in many more fields than just electronics.”

Definition of Nanoscience
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology investigates and applies phenomena, systems and structures where:
1. At least one dimension lc is a few nm
2. The properties are qualitatively different
because l < lc
Condition 2 distinguishes ‘nano’ from ‘micro’, macro-molecular chemistry’ or ‘biology’

What is Nanoelectronics?
![Page 20: Nanotechnology - the New Frontier Peter Grutter Physics Department McGill University peter](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ee65503460f94bf6e8a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What is Electronics?
• By electronics we mean the handling of complicated electrical wave forms for communicating information, probing (such as in radar) and data processing.
• Data processing is the result of one complex stream of information interacting with another.
• This requires non-linear behavior, otherwise information just gets passed on from one place to the other.
(Landauer, Science 1968)
![Page 21: Nanotechnology - the New Frontier Peter Grutter Physics Department McGill University peter](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649ee65503460f94bf6e8a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Nanoelectronics
* Investigate those electronic properties of small systems that are fundamentally different because of size. Look for interesting non-linearities.
* ‘Smallness’ depends on property and temperature.
The relevant length scale for conductance (the Fermi length) is 0.5nm for metals, 5nm for semiconductors.

Nano Technology
• Science!• Scaling Laws? • Statistics?• Better function?• Throughput?
Nanotechnology is at its infancy, still rather quite primitive!
•Cost?
•Systems integration?
•Environmental impact?
•Social acceptance?
•Ethics?
some of the issues:

Why will gray goo remainremain fiction?
• Contradicts many well-established laws of physics and chemistry:– fat finger problem – sticky finger problem– stability problem (positional and chemical)– (see R. Smalley, Sci. Amer. Sept 2001, p. 76)
• Challenges:– communication macro-nano– surface - volume effects
