News From the Field Materials Researchers Create Breakthroughs in Single-electron Device Fabrication
October 10, 2008
|
Single-electron devices have many advantages over conventional electronic devices; they can have ultra-high packing density and operate with extremely low power consumption. Despite research on these devices for more than a decade, various fabrication challenges have limited their production to only a small number of devices at a time, restricting their practical implementation.
