Abstract :
The challenge of extending Moore´s Law past the physical and economic barriers of present semiconductor technologies calls for novel nanoelectronic solutions. Circuits composed of mixed silicon semiconductors and nanoelectronics can provide a means for gradually switching technology paradigms. We suggest a design methodology to accompany this concept. Furthermore, we explore design tradeoffs for a nanoscale crossbar technology that supports CMOS/nano co-design.
