The features in advanced chips are now so small that variations in numbers of photons and numbers of atoms matter. Lithography of subwavelength device dimensions and statistical variations in the numbers of dopant atoms that elicit transistor behavior result in significant variation in the electrical properties of tiny transistors. Such variations are an inevitable consequence of miniaturization revealing the quantized nature of light and matter.","PeriodicalId":136595,"journal":{"name":"13th IEEE International Symposium on Asynchronous Circuits and Systems (ASYNC'07)","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117136441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
