Technology Roadmap for Nanoelectronics

Nanotubes for Nanoelectronics

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a viable electronic material for molecular electronic devices because of their unique physical and electrical properties [1–7]. For example, nanotubes have a lightweight and record-high elastic modulus, and they are predicted to be by far the strongest fibers that can be made. Their high strength and high flexibility are unique mechanical properties. They...

Microwave Impedance Measurement for Nanoelectronics

The rapid progress in nanoelectronics showed an urgent need for microwave measurement of impedances extremely different from the 50Ω reference impedance of measurement instruments. In commonly used methods input impedance or admittance of a device under test (DUT) is derived from measured value of its reflection coefficient causing serious accuracy problems for very high and very low impedances...
