By 2016 or earlier the Semiconductor Industry will be nearing the end of CMOS scaling and that continued progress in functionality-cost ratios will require the invention of new information processing 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, carbon nanotube devices 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.In 2003, the Semiconductor Industry, via the International Technology Roadmap forSemiconductors (ITRS) process, began to assess the applicability of a wide range of research devices to serve as a basis for continuing historical functionality-cost trends.Industry specialists conducted these assessments without substantial inputs from the university research community and they indicated that none of the research devices studied for logic applications is a likely candidate to continue the Moore's law cadence for information technology beyond the end of CMOS scaling. This rather bleak assessment, if correct, drives the need for new thinking in device and architecture research. On the other hand, the 2003 ITRS assessment may be the result of the ITRS Emerging ResearchDevice Technology working Group's (ERD TWG) inadequate comprehension of the performance potential of the proposed new device technologies.This proposal seeks travel funds for university researchers to attend three mini-workshops with the ITRS Roadmap's ERD Working Group members so that the 2004/2005 version of the ITRS will reflect a consensus view on candidate technologies proposed for Post-CMOS devices.

到2016年或更早，半导体行业将接近CMOS规模化的尾声，功能成本比的持续进步将需要新的信息处理技术的发明。在纳米电子学的大标题下，今天出现了一系列关于器件、制造技术和系统架构的新概念。这可能最终为我们在过去三十年中所经历的信息技术的摩尔定律进步提供基础。针对后CMOS技术提出了广泛的新想法，如分子电子学，碳纳米管器件等。很难辨别这些概念中的哪一个有潜力为未来的信息技术提供技术基础。2003年，半导体行业，通过国际半导体技术路线图（ITRS）进程，开始评估广泛的研究设备的适用性，作为继续历史功能的基础-成本趋势。行业专家在没有大学研究界大量投入的情况下进行了这些评估，他们表示，逻辑应用是一个可能的候选人，继续摩尔定律的节奏，为信息技术超越结束CMOS缩放。这种相当悲观的评估，如果是正确的，驱动器在设备和架构研究的新思维的需要。另一方面，在一项研究中，2003年ITRS评估可能是ITRS新兴研究设备技术工作组（ERD TWG）对拟议的新设备技术的性能潜力理解不足的结果。该提案寻求为大学研究人员提供旅费，以便与ITRS路线图的ERD工作组成员一起参加三个小型研讨会，从而使2004/ITRS 2005版将反映后CMOS器件候选技术的共识。
