Energy Efficient Nanoelectronics

Abstract

Unique nanoscale material and device properties provide opportunities to achieve improved performance and efficiency, and to enable new functionalities. The focus of nanoelectronics research has shifted from low-power switches for Boolean logic to emerging materials and devices for novel computing paradigms. This paper will discuss new directions of energy-efficient nanoelectronics based on a brief review of the new research funded by the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).
