Book cover Nanosystems Design and Technology

Abstract

This book addresses the impact of nanotechnologies on the design of electronic systems. We use the term “system” in the broad sense, and thus we consider technologies that range from nanoelectronics to sensing and micro-/nanofluidics and that encompass techniques bridging the gap between engineering and biology. We also use the term nanosystem to indicate that the system embodies nanodevices. As the application space of nanosystems is very vast, we will focus on specific topics that exemplify the challenges and opportunities that nanotechnology brings to the system design table.
