Nanoelectronics

(1) Ultimate CMOS technologies and their showstoppers

 

(2) Phenomena specific to deep submicron devices: non-stationary phenomena (velocity overshoot), ballistic transport, quantum effects, atomic scale parameter fluctuation (fluctuation of number of dopants, interface roughness).

 

(3) Innovative device architectures (Double-gate MOS transistor - DGMOS, dynamic threshold MOS transistor - DTMOS, gate-all-around transistor - GAA, vertical MOS transistors)

 

(4) Nano-scale and quantum devices: Single Electron Transistor (SET), quantum wires, few-electron memories, etc.

 

(5) Steep slope switches: Tunnel FEts, NEM  switch and Negative Capacitance switch.

 

(6) Charge-based circuit architectures: quantum dot cellular automata (QCA)

 

(7) Carbon Nanotubes: technology, devices and circuits

 

(8) Spintronics
