Abstract :
This talk focuses on pathways to solving the challenges involved in adapting molecular switches so that they can be used in practical circuits. Addressing these issues result in detailed understanding of the interactions between molecular switch properties and application requirements, deep consideration of interconnect structures, and modeling of potential candidate structures. This talk is part tutorial and part research talk. The tutorial portion will discuss fundamental circuit issues, including CMOS scaling concerns, and competing approaches to nanoelectronics. The research talk will start with a treatment of the appropriateness of Spice as a circuit modeler before presenting our results in memory and logic applications.
