Abstract :
We discuss the potential "challenger" of silicon chip technology at or before the end of the roadmap. These disruptive technologies are rooted in the nanoscale materials or structures, synthesized by the inexpensive bottom-up chemistry methods, which exhibit exceptional materials and electrical properties. The new technologies will help the continued advancement, not necessary through conventional geometry scaling, of solid-state chip technology in several mainstream applications such as computing and data storage.
