Carbon Nanotube Technology(CNT) By, Amit Panchal CST 300 L Fall 2013
Overview • Definition of CNT • Why CNT in Computer? • History of CNT • How chip is made with nanotubes? • Pros/Cons of CNT
Definition • What is CNT?
Why CNT in Computers? • Limitation of Moore’s Law • Silicon on chips will be replaced by Carbon Nanotubes
History of CNT • 1991 – Carbon Nanotubes discovered • 2002 – Nanotubes replace wires • 2006 – Creative Year • 2012 – Smallest CNT transistor • 2013 – CNT Computer
How chip is made with nanotubes? • Printing high-performance circuits with carbon nanotubes • Array of transistors on a flexible sheet coated with layer of semiconducting carbon nanotubes
Pros/Cons • Advantages of CNT • Disadvantages of CNT
