Abstract
This course will begin by outlining approaching limits of conventional CMOS technology. New architectural requirements and paradigms for future nanoelectronics will be described. .Top-down. and .bottom-up. manufacturing paradigms, particularly self-assembly of organic monolayers will be discussed. Theoretical and experimental realizations of molecular-scale electronic switches will be described. This course will also show nanoscale memory and logic circuits built with these materials and methods and will discuss potential nanoscale chemical and biological sensors built with these materials and methods.
