MotivationMotivationMotivationMotivation

1996-1999 MELARI (Microelectronics Advanced Research Initiative)

– Physical, engineering and financial limits

– CMOS showstoppers visible (Power density, interconnects, lithography, etc.)

2000-2003 NID (Nanotechnology Information Devices)– alternative to the limits of evolutionary “shrink” technology

– support for the next wave of innovation (Quantum devices/circuits, manufacturing at the molecular scale by self-assembly, etc.)

– address also non CMOS applications

Proposals for training of for shared nanofabrication facilities, or other relevant nanotechnology infrastructure are welcome in both action lines


Novel architectures for information processing systems, adequate for nano-scale implementation

– Issues: fault-tolerance, self-test, topological regularity, local power, parallelism, general purpose vs. application-specific,...

Novel devices at the level of a logic gate, memory cell, or elementary processor

– What molecules, atoms, or nano-structures?

– Issues: scalability, RT operation, interconnects, interfaces to the macroscopic world, low power

Nanofabrication tools and techniques for the fabrication of structures with critical dimensions below 10 nm

– Combination of techniques from biology, biotechnology and chemistry with surface patterning and SPM

– Issue: cost!
