Real Life Applications of Nanotechnology in Electronics

摘要

Nanotechnology is receiving a lot of attention from companies, universities and governments. The US $3.8million National Nanotechnology Initiative is matched by initiatives in Europe and Asia. But what does it mean for existing businesses and new businesses in the electronics market. Is it a real tool for today or are the applications way out in the future? Will it be economic or outrageously costly? In reality, nanotechnology is like a toolkit for the electronics industry; it gives us tools that allow us to make nanomaterials with special properties modified by ultra-fine particle size, cry stall inity, structure or surfaces. These will become commercially important when they give a cost and performance advantage over existing products or allow us to create new products. The presentation will outline areas in nanotechnology with specific impact on semiconductors, passive components, display materials, packaging and interconnection.
