Focus

The objective of the CNS Nanoelectronics Thrust is the development and advancement of the performance, capability and functionality of nanoelectronic semiconductor devices, circuits and architectures well beyond what can be achieved with conventional electronics. This thrust includes efforts that are concerned with revolutionary advances in silicon electronics and efforts that focus on the effective utilization of the novel capabilities of carbon-based electronic materials.

In Carbon Nanoelectronics the objective is to create integrated electronic systems using molecules such as pentacene and carbon nanotubes as the active electronic elements to obtain new functionality, and to address particular information technology needs for which Si is not a solution. A central goal is to integrate these new electronic materials into a standard Si environment to create hybrid Si/C systems.
