Abstract :
Nano-electronics is an emerging area of electrical and computer engineering that concerns itself with the study of building electronic devices at nanometer dimensions. This paper is a review of the current state of nano-electronics and nanocomputing technologies, and it also evaluates the prospects and the challenges that must be overcome for commercial realization of nano-electronic products. It is hoped that this paper would serve as a good starting point for those who want to explore this area and would like to know the status of the technology, the issues, the challenges, and research opportunities.
