Nanoelectronics

Charge at reduced dimensions

Nanoelectronics investigates how low-dimensional channels, interfaces and contacts influence charge or light in devices.

Electronic structure and confinement can change with dimension, but useful device behavior also depends on contacts, defects, heat and manufacturing variability.

Questions to ask

• What is the active nanoscale structure?
• Which property was directly measured?
• Was the result a material, device or system test?

Examples

• 2D channels
• CNT interconnects
• Quantum-dot emitters
