Nano-Electronic Devices and Micro/Nano systems

Electronics has two subfields: microelectronics and nanoelectronics. In microelectronics, the nominal feature size of an electronic component is between 100 and 0.1 micrometers; in nanoelectronics, it is 100 nanometers or less. The memory storage capacity of today's cutting-edge electronic devices has been made possible by a huge increase in microchip density. Field-effect transistors can be made smaller so that more components can fit into integrated circuits, resulting in stronger, more energy-efficient electronic devices with lower weights and power requirements.
