  1. Statements on Societal Implications Rational You ITRI-IEK-NEMS 2001/08/16 Source: NSF (2001/03)

  2. S-Curve of Technology • The concept of an S-curve of technology • Present position on the S-curve of technology Source: NSF (2001/03)

  3. A Secure Nation in a Secure World • --- Source: NSF (2001/03)

  4. Open System Biosphere • A city model for sustainable energy, agriculture, and climate. Source: NSF (2001/03)

  5. Creating Small, Smart Swarms of Devices • Nanotechnology may be a Key Enabling Element to Creating Small, Smart Swarms of Devices that sense, think, act, and communicate — resulting in emergent behavior of collective systems. Source: NSF (2001/03)

  6. Disruptive Technologies • Nanotechnology may fall into the category of disruptive technologies where significant new capabilities and industrial systems bring large-scale changes, which may result in the betterment of society or may create new problems. Source: NSF (2001/03)

  7. A computer integrates structure and function on many length scales. • A transistor includes some layers of differentiated materials only a few atoms thick. • However, our ability to impart structure at scales less than 180 nm is limited. • In contrast, biological systems are richly structured all the way to the atomic scale. Source: NSF (2001/03)

  8. A recent example from IBM Research (a) Careful control and steering of process conditions can produce technologically useful structures on several length scales. • Here chemical synthesis of uniformly sized nanocrystals and subsequent deposition of the particles from liquid solution forms a nanocrystal superlattice. (b) Comparison of current “state-of-the-art” magnetic storage medium with a nanostructured magnetic storage medium. • Such nanostructured materials may contribute to cost-performance improvements in hard disk drives in the next few years. Source: IBM (Sun et al. 2000), NSF (2001/03)

  9. Electronic Devices using Organic Molecules A world-wide community of researchers is currently pursuing the dream of printing or stamping electronic devices using organic molecules chosen to take advantage of natural assembly processes. (a) Transistors fabricated from the organic semiconductor pentacene exhibit performance comparable to the amorphous silicon transistors used in flat panel displays. (Dimitrakopoulos et al. 1999) (b) Yellow light from a diode made from a hybrid organic-inorganic compound, which was crystallized at room temperature from liquid solution (Chondroudis and Mitzi 1999).

  10. Societal Impact of IC “Scaling” via Pervasive, Affordable Electronics • Economic Growth – Development of “High-Tech” Industries and Workforce – High-Productivity Economy • Personal Equality/Opportunity – Global/Portable Communications – Personal Access to Vast Information On-Demand (News, Education, Entertainment) – Empowerment of Individuals to Process Information (Networked PCs and PDAs vs. Mainframe Computers) Source: NSF (2001/03)

  13. How to Manufacture Nano-Electronic ICs In the future, how do we cost effectively manufacture “almost atomically-perfect” Nano-Electronic ICs ? (based on silicon, nanotubes, or whatever) 1. Nano-Tool Arrays ? – Multiple-Tip AFM lithography ? 2. Self-Assembly ? (perhaps DNA + Enzymes !) – Processing in a low-cost “beaker” ? – “Defect immunity” and/or self repair ? Source: NSF (2001/03)

  14. Suggested Guiding Principles for Long-Range Nanotechnology Research ‧Start Early! ‧Maximize Inter-disciplinary Collaboration ‧Use/Extend the ITRS as a Consensus-Building Forum on“Long-Range Research Needs” for Nanoelectronics ‧Encourage Broad Cooperation ‧Involve Industry as Stakeholders/Customers ‧Utilize University Research Capability ‧Leverage Federal/National Laboratories ‧Emphasize Pre-competitive Results (e.g., not proprietary) ‧Include Studies on Technology Choices/Down-Selection and Technology Migration/Displacement Source: Texas Instruments (R.
