Carbon Nanotubes: The Hub Of Nanoelectronics
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
This paper highlights nanotechnology as a very important application of miniaturization and a fulfilment of Moore’s law. This law is being stretched to its limit and nanoelectronics is a way out of the challenge. The field of nanoelectronics has created an enabling environment for the continued realization of this law. Hence new methods and materials are used to build electronic devices having feature sizes on the nanoscale. Nanomaterials manifest interesting unique and useful chemical, physical, mechanical and electrical properties. Of all the nanomaterials in use, carbon nanotubes play a pivotal role in nanoelectronics because they have very unique electrical properties. They can serve as metals or semiconductor depending on specific and discrete (“chiral”) angles and tube radii.
