Abstract:Nanocomputing using nanowire tiles Physical limitations may impede further miniaturization of microelectronics using current lithographically fabricated silicon transistor designs. To develop a nanocomputer architecture that transcends such physical limitations, Jun Yao et al. (pp. 2431-2435) synthesized nanowires with diameters less than 20 nm and implemented an assembly technique to organize the nanowires into six highly ordered nanowire crossbar arrays. The nanowire transistor arrays shared the same crossba… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
