Track 3: Nanofabrication

Nanofabrication can be used to construct ultra-dense parallel arrays of nanowires, as an alternative to synthesizing nanowires individually Of particular prominence in this field, Silicon nanowires are being increasingly studied towards diverse applications in Nano electronics, energy conversion and storage. Such SiNWs can be fabricated by thermal oxidation in large quantities to yield nanowires with controllable thickness. Nanofabrication is of interest to computer engineers because it opens the door to super-high-density microprocessor s and memory chip s. It has been suggested that each data bit could be stored in a single atom.
