CMOS-MEMS:
Advanced Micro and Nanosystems: v. 2
Microstructures, electronics, nanotechnology - these
vast fields of research are growing together as the
size gap narrows and many different materials are
combined. Current research, engineering sucesses and
newly commercialized products hint at the immense
innovative potentials and future applications that
open up once mankind controls shape and function from
the atomic level right up to the visible world without
any gaps.
Sensor systems, microreactors, nanostructures, nanomachines,
functional surfaces, integrated optics, displays,
communications technology, biochips, human/machine
interfaces, prosthetics, miniaturized medical and
surgery equipment and many more opportunities are
being explored.
This new series, Advanced Micro and Nano Systems,
provides cutting-edge reviews from top authors on
technologies, devices and advanced systems from the
micro and nano worlds.. |

Nanoelectronics
and Nanosystems: From Transistors to Molecular and
Quantum Devices
Nanoelectronics provides an accessible introduction
for prospective and practicing electronic engineers,
computer scientists and physicists. The overview covers
all aspects from underlying technologies to circuits
and systems. The challenge of nanoelectronics is not
only to manufacture minute structures but also to
develop innovative systems for effective integration
of the billions of devices.
On the system level, various architectures are presented
and important features of systems, such as design
strategies, processing power, and reliability are
discussed. Many specific technologies are presented,
including molecular devices, quantum electronic devices,
resonant tunnelling devices, single electron devices,
superconducting devices, and even devices for DNA
and quantum computing.
The book also compares these devices with current
silicon technologies and discusses limits of electronics
and the future of nanosystems. |

Frontiers
of Multifunctional Integrated Nanosystems (NATO Science
Series II: Mathematics, Physics & Chemistry
A compendium of novel information on molecular-scale
science and the application of nanocarbon, nanosilicon
and biopolymer integrated nanosystems. During the
20th century, molecular-scale science and nanotechnology
developed rapidly, leading to the construction of
innovative materials - nanosystens from molecules
(fullerenes), supramolecules (nanotubes, peapods,
polymers, biopolymers (DNA, protein and their complexes)
and semiconductor nanoparticles (nano-Si, SiOx, Si/SiGe
dots, metal nanowires).
This book presents exciting new developments of the
early 21st century. Significant progress has been
made in nanotechnology of building blocks for integrated
nanosystems, single and assembled molecules, nanoparticles
characterisation, and multifunctional applications
of nanosystems. The realisation and the application
of novel multifunctional nanosystems in electronics,
optics, biomedicine (nano-bioelectronic devices based
on DNA and proteins, silicon nanocrystal memory devices,
monolithically integrated silicon photonics, nanocapsules,
biosensor nanosystems) are described by well known
experts. This multi-disciplinary, scientific display
of cutting-edge research across the entire spectrum
of nanoscience and nanotechnology of inorganic, and
organic systems, as well as systems for electronics
photonics, and spintronics demonstrates that researching
nanocarbon, nanosilicon, biomolecular integrated nanosystems,
and developing their new applications, is a complex
and exiting topic that will continue to attract scientists
and engineers for many years to come. . |

Molecular
Engineering of Nanosystems
Molecular nanotechnology is an emerging technology
that allows us to build materials and systems with
atomic and molecular precision by manipulating atoms
and molecules at very small scales, ultimately at
the single molecule scale. Since the properties of
materials depend on how their atoms are arranged,
the ability to manipulate atoms and molecules at the
nano-scale will allow us to create new materials,
to improve current materials, and to build systems
heretofore only dreamt of.
The implications of this technology are great: continued
revolutions in computer chip technology, continued
revolutions in manufacturing, new and stronger materials,
and highly precise medical instruments and treatments.It
is only recently that advances in scanning probe microscopy,
biotechnology (mainly protein and genetic engineering),
and solution-phase chemistry have been defined as
tools to implement the technology.
These and other advances in the technologies of physics,
chemistry and biology are converging to provide the
methodology for a molecular-scale technology. This
book provides the professional with an overview of
current methodologies in the field, with emphasis
on the implementation of current research. |

Engines
of Creation
"Nano-technology" will enable machines to
be constructed that are 1000 times smaller than a
microchip.
This field will revolutionize research from within
the heart of the living cell to the depths of space
itself.
Drexler examines the implications of the next technological
revolution. |

Understanding
Nanotechnology "Scientific
American"
Everyone today knows what technology is, but what
is nanotechnology? Taken from the Greek, nano means
'one billionth part of' a whole. In modern parlance,
it means very, very small. Nano-tech is the next step
after miniaturization. Mobile phones are miniaturized
versions of traditional landline phones. Watches are
miniature clocks. Desktop computers are miniature
versions of the original analogue calculating machines.
Miniaturization is common in today's world - in tomorrow's
world, nano-tech will be the new common technology.
It will afect everyone on the planet and may change
civilization as it is known. This book presents the
cutting edge of a new technology that will find usage
in medicine, space exploration, communications, manufacturing
and almost every other aspect of modern society. Imagine
getting an injection of "smart" molecules
that can seek out cancer cells and destroy them without
hurting any of the surrounding tissue. Imagine a simultaneous
space launch via the Shuttle of thousands of robotic
probes, each no bigger than an insect and each programmed
to do a single task in concert with all the others.
And that's just the begnning. |
