International Workshop on Concept Assessments for Nanoelectronics September 9-14, 2002 in Santiago de Compostela, Spain.

拟议的研讨会将作为国际纳米技术趋势会议的一部分举行。研讨会的范围包括评估纳米技术研究对基于新材料、工艺和设备的新型竞争类纳米电子电路的部署可能产生的影响。看起来，到2016年，我们将接近MOS演变的尾声，功能成本比的持续进步将需要发明替代技术。今天，器件、制造技术和系统架构的一系列新概念正在“纳米电子学”的总标题下涌现，这些概念最终可能为我们在过去30年中经历的信息技术领域继续摩尔定律的进步提供基础。对于后CMOS技术，如分子电子学、量子计算等，已经提出了一系列新的想法。任何一个新领域的特点，都很难辨别出这些概念中的哪一个有可能为未来的信息技术提供技术基础。会议将从半导体工业应用的长远角度(10年后)评估纳米技术的现状。它将把工业界和大学的研究人员聚集在一起，考虑纳米技术中不同概念的潜力及其对半导体行业的潜在影响。研讨会的目标是探讨和发展纳米电子技术研究的短期和长期策略，以满足微电子业的长期需求。研讨会的组织将鼓励与会者积极交流意见。已经确定了六个主要的纳米电子学主题，每个主题都将由一名来自工业界的演讲者和一名来自一所大学的演讲者发表讲话。讨论会结束后，讨论要点和演讲者发言将汇编并出版。研讨会的预期结果将是设想实现发展纳米电子技术的长期目标所需的方向：我们现在处于什么位置，今天应该为未来的纳米电子研究做些什么。我们能想出一个具有里程碑意义的“纳米电子战略计划”吗？

The proposed workshop will be held as a part of the International Trends in Nanotechnology conference. The workshop scope encompasses an assessment of the probable impact of nanotechnology research on the deployment of new competitive classes of nanoelectronic circuits based on novel materials, processes and devices.It does appear that by 2016 we will be nearing the end of MOS evolution and that continued progress in functionality-cost ratios will require the invention of replacement technologies. A range of new concepts for devices, fabrication techniques, and system architectures are emerging today under the general heading of 'nanoelectronics' that may eventually provide the basis for continuing the Moore's Law advances in information technologies that we have experienced for the last three decades. A wide range of new ideas have been proposed for post-CMOS technologies, such as molecular electronics, quantum computation etc. Characteristic of any new area, it is difficult to discern which of these concepts has the potential to provide a technological basis for information technologies of the future. This workshop will seek to identify nanoelectronic technologies that have the potential to sustain our tradition of exponential improvements in cost-performance.The meeting will assess the status of nanotechnologies from the long-term (10 years from now) perspective of semiconductor industry applications. It will bring together industry and university researchers to consider the potential of different concepts in nanotechnology and their potential impact on semiconductor industry'. The workshop objective is to explore and develop both short- and long-range strategies for research in nanoelectronic technologies, addressing the long-term needs of the microelectronics industry.The workshop will be structured to encourage an active interchange of ideas among participants. Six major nanoelectronics themes have been identified, each of which is to be addressed by a speaker from industry and a speaker from a university. The discussion points and speaker presentations will be compiled and published after the workshop. The desired outcome of the workshop will be to visualize the direction needed to approach the long-term goals of developing nanoelectronic technologies: Where we are and what shall be done today for future nanoelectronics research. Can we think of a "nanoelectronics strategic plan" with milestones?
