This book was released on 2003-04-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in microelectronics has been associated with reducing the minimum feature size of integrated circuits. However, this trend seems to be ending. The minimum device feature size is now approaching dimensions comparable to molecular and atomic sizes, and the ability to scale down is rapidly reaching the point of diminishing returns. New frontiers of microelectronics lie in supplementing conventional silicon chips with new materials and approaches that allow for cheap microelectronic and nanoelectronic devices and circuits on unconventional flexible giant substrates. Giant electronics on flexible substrates will enable numerous applications from electrotextiles to flexible displays, from thin-film batteries to novel photovoltaic devices, and from 'sensitive skin' for robotics and medical applications to antiterrorist systems built into smart, safe and environmentally friendly buildings. This book deals with this new and potentially disruptive technology. Future concerns include the development of reliable low-temperature deposition technology for depositing semiconducting films on a variety of unconventional substrates and the development of flexible/stretchable metal and transparent metal films and the demonstration of semiconductor heterostructures on threads and cloth.

Download or read book Three Dimensional Nanoengineered Assemblies Volume 739 written by T. M. Orlando and published by . This book was released on 2003-06-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in nanoscale materials processing are taking place at a rapid pace via myriad paths, including lithography, production of nanoparticle assemblies, surface manipulation and many others. Several of the techniques create structures that are three-dimensional or quasi three-dimensional. Even smaller structures intended to be two-dimensional have a 'more' three-dimensional geometry as their two-dimensional feature size and layer thickness become similar. The properties of these denser assemblies are driving different applications in electronics (single-electron devices), optics (photonic crystals and switches) and elsewhere. This 2003 book provides a venue for a productive scientific and technical exchange. The result is a compilation of papers which address fundamental studies, technological advances and novel approaches to developing and processing three-dimensional nanoscale assemblies. Topics include: nanofabrication via lithographic techniques; unconventional fabrication methods of nano-structures; physics, chemistry and modeling of nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 1D nanostructures; fabrication and properties of 3D nanostructures; applications of nanostructures and devices.

Download or read book Optoelectronics of Group IV based Materials written by Materials Research Society. Meeting and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elemental semiconductors feature fundamental advantages when compared to II-VI and III-V compounds. This is best illustrated by the success of silicon technology and also by the superior purity of germanium and (MOCVD) diamond. However, in contrast to electronic, the optical properties of these materials are inferior, and therefore, their applications remain electronic rather than photonic. Nevertheless, an effort toward optoelectronics continues. In the case of silicon and silicon-based media, this is motivated by the almost unlimited possibilities offered by VLSI technology. Among other methods, quantum confinement in low-dimensional structures, optical doping, development of inhomogeneous media, and applications of microcavities are being vigorously explored as ways to improve emission. When brought to maturity, these approaches could lead to widespread applications ranging from telecommunications to chemical and biological sensing. For silicon, a full on-chip integration of electronic and photonic elements could be realized. This volume brings together researchers from academic, industry and government laboratories around the world to review progress in the field, identify the most promising targets, point out possible bottlenecks and assess future perspectives. A cross-fertilization of ideas from the fields of materials science, spectroscopy, solid-state physics and chemistry, as well as device physics, are presented.
