The Future of Nanotechnologies in Computing (Part 3)
Computer ArchitecturesThe development of VSLI CMOS systems will continue with new silicon based nanotechnologies, such as silicon-on-insulator, for at least another decade and should allow for the development of systems that will operate at speeds of up to 15GHz.
There are however issues with CMOS systems that will mean they cannot be developed indefinitely. […]
The Future of Nanotechnologies in Computing (Part 2)
Nano-devicesThe development of VSLI computer systems over the last few decades has mainly been led by the development of the CMOS chip (Neimier et al 2000).
This has proved to be a very successful method of building computer systems, which is still conforming to the implied rules of Moore’s Law, which can be seen […]
The Future of Nanotechnologies in Computing (Part 1)
IntroductionThe study of nanotechnologies is a field of science that attempts to achieve something useful by manipulating matter on a nano-scale (between 1 – 100nm).
Nano refers to a nano-meter (nm), which is 1/1,000,000,000th of a meter or about the same size as one eighty thousandth of the width of a human hair.
