A “Roadmap” is an extended look at the future of a chosen field of inquiry composed from
the collective knowledge of researchers in that field. The composition of a roadmap can …

The shrinking of electronic devices will inevitably introduce a growing number of defects and
even make these devices more sensitive to external influences. It is, therefore, likely that the …

Nanoelectronics provides an accessible introduction for prospective and practicing
electronic engineers, computer scientists and physicists. The overview covers all aspects …

Opinions differ widely as to the type of architecture most suitable for achieving the
tremendous performance gains expected with computers built by nanotechnology. In this …

At the nanometer scale, the focus of micro-architecture will move from processing to
communication. Most general computer architectures to date have been based on a “stored …

Today, with the continuation of the reduction of the dimensions of transistors, the thickness of
the gate is so small that it causes the leakage currents of the transistors to be very high. This …

Nanotechnology is changing the world in a very big way, but at the atomic and sub-atomic
level. Although the roots of nanotechnology can be traced back to more than a century ago …

Downsizing computational modules can be effective in increasing computational speed,
reducing energy consumption, and reducing the occupied area of the chip, but limitations …

A novel way to implement a color image filter is introduced here. The quantum-dot cellular
automata (QCA) framework is adopted due to its adequacy to implement highly parallel …

This paper explores the architectural challenges introduced by emerging bottom-up
fabrication of nanoelectronic circuits and develops an architecture that meets these …
