Download or read book Single-Atom Nanoelectronics written by Enrico Prati and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Single-Atom Nanoelectronics covers the fabrication of single-atom devices and related technology, as well as the relevant electronic equipment and the intriguing new phenomena related to single-atom and single-electron effects in quantum devices. It also covers the alternative approaches related to both silicon- and carbon-based technologies, also from the point of view of large-scale industrial production. The publication provides a comprehensive picture of the state of the art at the cutting edge and constitutes a milestone in the emerging field of beyond-CMOS technology. Although there are numerous publications on nanoelectronics, no book highlights the effect of a single atom on device performance, which can be beneficial for making extensive use of CMOS technologies. This book is the first to deal with topics related to single-atom control, which is the final frontier for nanoelectronics.
