Abstract :
The 2012 IEEE Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop is a satellite workshop of the 2012 VLSI Symposia sponsored by the IEEE Electron Device Society. It is the seventeenth workshop in the annual series, which showcases original work on nanometer8scale devices and technologies that utilize silicon or which are based on silicon substrates. The program this year includes 8 invited talks, 27 oral presentations, and 47 poster papers contributed by researchers from around the world. The Program Chair, Thomas Skotnicki, and I would like to thank the members of the Technical Program Committee and all of the attendees for their contributions and participation to make this workshop a success. We hope that you enjoy the workshop and the wonderful venue in Honolulu, Hawaii!
