Applied charge make CNT ribbons bend down to touch
the substrate or bend up back to its original state.
Ribbon-up gives 'zero' and ribbon-down is 'one'.

Nanoelectronics – Now or Never?"
IEDM Evening Panel Discussion, December 14,
Session 26: 8:00 p.m. Continental Ballroom 6-9 Moderator: Mark Lundstrom, Purdue
University "Nanoelectronics – Now or Never?" Traditional 'top-down' microelectronics
has become nanoelectronics with device dimensions comparable to those being
explored in the new field of ëbottom-up' nano- and molecular electronics. We use the
terms, top-down and bottom-up, in a very general sense. Top-down refers to a way of
thinking and building that begins at the macro (continuum) scale and pushes to the
nanoscale. Bottom-up refers to a way of thinking and building that begins at the
atomistic level and builds up to the nanoscale. The top-down approach has already
delivered silicon MOSFETs with channel lengths of ~ 5nm, but scaling down device
dimensions with commensurate increase in device and system performance is
increasingly challenging. Bottom-up technology has demonstrated molecular switches,
nanotube and nanowire FET's, NDR and single electron devices, and ultra-dense
memory prototypes. Is bottom-up nanotechnology ready to address the industry's
challenges, or is it still long-term research with essentially unpredictable outcomes?
This panel will debate the question of what the intersection of top-down and bottomup electronics will mean to semiconductor technology of the future.
