All topics concentrate on new, rapidly breaking areas of research. Format facilitates exchange of information by meeting attendees during the symposium. All tutorials are integrated into a related symposium program.
Tutorial attendance is open to all meeting registrants at no extra charge.
Formidable challenges are still ahead and wiring at the molecular scale is only one example. This tutorial will focus on the critical issues for molecular electronics. A definition of molecular electronics will be provided, along with comparisons to DNA computing and quantum computing. Nanofabrication techniques including potential use of nanolithography will be highlighted. Our understanding of the properties of the III-nitrides continues to grow at a rapid rate due to the worldwide interest in developing these materials for semiconductor device applications.
