ABSTRACT

In this chapter, nanotechnology is discussed in its capacity for design of digital circuits. Logic circuit design, at present, is applied solely to microelectronics. The process of transfer of circuitry to nanoelectronics and relevant hybrid technologies (e.g., molecular electronics) has already been started. Other meanings of the term “nanotechnology,” as it is understood in biochemistry, biophysics etc., are not the subject of this book.
