#ALGORITHM: "Nanoscience Transforms into Nanotech "

The National Nanotechnology Initiative has spend billions of dollars over the last decade preparing the scientific basis for the move to molecular-sized electronics. Now the National Science Foundation and the Semiconductor Research Corp. have entered the final phase--creating libraries of nano-scale electronic devices for use with standard SPICE simulators. Once done, manufacturing nanoscale electronics will become as easy as drag-and-drop: R. Colin Johnson @NextGenLog


NSF and SRC will enable electronics designers to choose nanoscale devices like this Band-to-Band-Tunneling transistor that is only eight nanometers thick.
