This section focuses on integrating novel nanoscale materials and devices,
circuit concepts, and sensor functionalities to develop new technologies for infor-
mation processing. New concepts for devices, fabrication techniques, and system
architectures are emerging from research in nanotechnologies.
Many new ideas have been proposed for post-CMOS technologies, such as
molecular electronics, carbon nanotube devices, spin devices, and so on. Most
likely, the full potential of these new developments will only be realized in com-
bination with new nanoarchitectures that integrate alternative electronic devices
onto a silicon platform. The papers in this section describe work on new emerging
nanoelectronic devices and materials.
