A. Neamen. Semiconductor Physics and Devices. McGraw Hill Higher Education 300 Taiwan bjhong nclab tw ABSTRACT ypchen nclab tw hsiaowen mail nctu edu tw In this paper we develop a new optimization framework that consists of the extended compact genetic algorithm ECGA and split on demand SoD to tackle the characteristic determination problem for solid state devices As most decision variables of characteristic determination problems are real numbers due to the modeling of physical phenomena and ECGA is designed for handling discrete type problems a speci c mechanism Continue to download »

Spot Moore s Law and nanomaterials research Masahiko Hara Laboratory Head Local Spatio Temporal Functions Laboratory RIKEN The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research Materials science and engineering represent important foundations upon which our society is based Our way of life depends to a great extent on advancement in these elds advancement which further presents us with an index for measuring the continuing progress of society The development of semiconductor devices during the last century opened up a completely new vista in materials research and brought about a whole new range of unprecedented capabilities such as large computer memory capacities and the rapid processing of huge amounts of data In accordance with what is known as Moore s Law propounded in 1965 by Gordon Moore co founder of Intel the number of transistors per integrated circuit has roughly doubled every 18 to 24 months since the technology was developed Miniaturization and what is today popularly termed nanotechnology are 
Nano Materials and Nanotechnology Dr R Ramaseshan From University of Tennessee web site Forward What is Nanotechnology Variants of Nanotechnology Drawbacks What is Nanotechnology Loosely defined as Matter at dimensions roughly in the range of 1 100nm Exploitation of novel and improved properties phenomena and processes specific at the scale level discussed earlier The technology to build Nano level matter using either a bottom up b top down process What makes nanostructured materials interesting Electronics and optical applications Can be defect free electrons move ballistically Quantum confinement optical properties Mechanical Properties Small enough to be defect free thus exhibiting ideal strength Thermal Properties Can be designed to conduct substantially or worse than the bulk materials Chemical Properties Dominated by large surface to volume ratio Nanotechnologies Dry Nanotechnology which drives from surface science and physical chemistry focuses on fabrication of physical structures of inorganic materials Si C Wet
