Conventional integrated circuit technology is approaching its theoretical limits. Scientists and engineers are turning to materials which utilize quantum dynamics to push past the conventional materials limits. Nanoelectronics is a promising replacement possibility with a wide range of potential future applications. In this lesson, we introduce the basics of semiconductor technology, as well as the basics of going nano.
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
