Research abstract
Not Available As the current trends in transistors miniaturization are continued down to the molecular level (in a dimension of tens of nanometers or less), the electronic properties of solids and solid-solid interfaces are inherently different on the nanometer level. It is becoming clear that continued increases in circuit density will require fairly dramatic changes in the way transistors are designed and operated. The concept of single electron transistor has the potential to revolutionize this field. This program seeks to develop nanoelectronic devices with an innovation that focuses on highly monodispersed MINIM arrays for single electron transistors. During Phase I, AMSEN will demonstrate the proof-of-concept of such a device. Phase II will build on Phase I success, optimize, build prototypes and field test the technology in partnership with DoD. Phase III will commercialize the technology and anticipated spin-off
