This document provides information about a nanoelectronics and industrial applications program offered by the Nano Science & Technology Consortium. It defines nanoelectronics as using scientific methods at the atomic scale to develop nano machines and reduce their size, risk, and surface area. The program covers advantages of nanoelectronics like miniaturization and exploring molecular properties. It also discusses industrial applications in areas like computers, displays, and communications. Finally, it outlines the program delivery methodology and various career opportunities in related fields.
1. Nanoelectronics & Its Industrial Applications Program

2. What is Nanoelectronics ?
Nano Science & Technology Consortium
Nanoelectronics make use of scientific methods at atomic scale for
developing the Nano machines. The main target is to reduce the size, risk
factor and surface areas of the materials and molecules. Machines under
nano electronic process undergoes the long range of manufacturing steps
each with accurate molecular treatment.
Nanoelectronics is one of the major technologies of Nanotechnology.
It plays vital role in the field of engineering and electronics.
3. What is Nanoelectronics ?-Contd.
Nano Science & Technology Consortium
The Nanotechnology field has been the subject of intense focus,
particularly from the viewpoint of the electronics industry. The
commitment is, no doubt, driven to a large measure by the current top-
down methodologies for fabrication of silicon-based devices. This is
implied in the next-generation approach towards manufacture of MEMS,
microprocessors, optical switching and several other electronic
components.
Nanotechnology is expected to bring about improvisation in deposition,
implantation, lithography and metrology, thus supporting scaling up of
silicon CMOS and is eventually expected to replace CMOS.
4. Advantages of Nanoelectronics
Nano Science & Technology Consortium
One of the obvious advantage is that Nanoelectronics reduces size and
scale of the machine with the help of complex integration on the circuit
silicon chips.
Advanced properties of semiconductors can be determined with the
help of Nanoelectronics.
Molecular scale Nanoelectronics is also known as “the next step” in the
miniaturization of electronic devices, with latest electronics theory and
research in the field of nanoelectronics, it is possible to explore the
diverse properties of molecules.
Extreme fabrication also supported the multiple use of single machine.
Parallel processing is also empowered by Nanoelectronics.
5. Industrial Applications & World Market
Nano Science & Technology Consortium
Nanotechnology is continually playing vital role to improve the
capability of electronic products. The technology also made the devices
very light making the product easy to carry or move and at the same time
it has reduced the power requirement. Some Consumer Products which are
using Nanotechnology:
•Computer Hardware
• Display Devices
• Mobile & Communication Products
• Audio Products
• Camera & Films
The world market for nanoelectronics is expected to reach $409.6 billion
by 2015.
