Nano electronics
Fullerene-a form of carbon having a large spheroidal molecule consisting of a
hollow cage of sixty or more atoms, of which buckminsterfullerene
was the first known example
Advantages of using Nanotechnology in
Electronics
• Memory chips density increases.
• Weight decreases.
• In the process of chips fabrication nanolithography is used.
• In integrated circuits, transistors size decreases or reduces.
• Electronic devices display screens improved.
• Power consumption reduced.
• Advances in disease treatments, such as cancer.
• Better imaging and diagnostic equipment.
• Energy-efficient products such as fuel and solar cells.
• Improvements in manufacturing that allow for durable, light-weight,
efficient production tools.
