Nanotechnology based fabrication, which relies on self-assembly of nanotubes or nanowires has been predicted to be an alternative to silicon technology since lithography based IC is approaching its limit in terms of feature size. However, such processes are expected to have high defect density and have be handled with effective defect tolerant techniques. In this paper, we propose a technique, which...
Building complex interconnect networks in a bottom-up way, for example by using self-assembling techniques, represents an ultimate challenge for building large-scale emerging computing devices. Due do the general lack of precise control over many self-assembling techniques, such interconnects are expected to be largely unstructured. In this paper we introduce two simple wire growth models for non-classical...
We propose one possible manufacturing pathway for realizing nanodevice based computational fabrics that combines self-assembly based techniques with conventional photolithography. This pathway focuses on realizing the fabric as a whole including assembly of nanostructures, functionalization of devices, contacts and interconnects. Furthermore, this pathway is scalable to large systems, as multiple...
Biomolecular structures with their self-assembly capability may provide new opportunities for the packaging of electronic devices of molecular size. On the way towards DNA-based nanoelectronics we show novel approaches for two major process steps: the construction of defined DNA interconnects and the transition of these networks into metallic nanowires. To this aim, we show controlled incorporation...
Using random graphs, we address the need for non-local communication channels in emerging nanotechnology interconnection structures. In this model, a grid of radicNtimesradicN processing elements are connected by non-local wires, which are fabricated as a post processing self-assembly step by electro-chemical migration of functionalized carbon nanotubes. We show that under reasonable assumptions,...
