Carbon Nanotube Electronics - Integrated Circuits and Systems Ali Javey 2009 edition

Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index. Description for Sales People: As the scaling limits of the conventional Si technology is approached, many have pursued alternative and revolutionary concepts as means to further improve the performance of future electronics. One such concept invovles the integration of carbon nanotube building blocks for active and passive components. The field of carbon nanotube electronics has recently received substantial attention from the industrial and academic communities as it is considered to be a series contender for future electron based nano devices, potentially enabling faster and smaller electronics. This book will provide the much needed complete guide to the field of nanotube electronics. Table of Contents: 1.

Publisher Marketing: Innovation of new materials with novel properties presents the driving force for technology development. Materials properties are not only governed by the atomic composition and the chemical bonding, but also by the dimensions of the material. Interestingpropertiesarise whena material system approachesthe molecularscales. At such small nm-scale dimensions, materials inherit some of the remarkable pr- erties of molecules, resulting in unique physical and chemical characteristics. This miniaturization phenomenon was ?rst envisioned by the Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman when he said, there is plenty of room at the bottom. Since then, novel syntheticapproacheshaveyieldeda spectrumofmaterialswith reduceddimensions. One particularly interesting example of miniaturized structures is the carbon n- otubes. Nanotubes are chemically derived synthetic nanomaterials with atomically smooth and well-de?ned surfaces, and 1-D structures. In recent years, signi?cant progresshas been made in their synthesis, puri?cationand assembly; understanding the fundamentalproperties; developingnovel electronic device designs; and utili- tion for a wide range of technological applications. The purpose of this book is to summarize some of the explosive research progress that has been made in the ?eld of nanotube electronics in the recent years."
