Semiconductor Research Needs in the Nanoscale Physical Sciences: A Semiconductor Research Corporation Working Paper
Source abstract
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to identify areas in the basic physical sciences where additional research is needed to sustain the extraordinary progress in electronics that has now extended for several decades. Also, it is argued that basic research will provide the foundation for the discovery of new generations of nanoelectronic devices that will continue the experimental rate of reduction in cost per function. Some of the fundamental areas requiring further research are the chemistry and physics of material interfaces, conductivity at small dimensions, deterministic doping effects, and nanomagnetics. Discovery research also is needed in the functional synergy of nanoelectronic materials and non-traditional fabrication methods.
