This proposal will ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of worldwide research into atomic-scale electronics. It links leading nanotechnologists from Canada and Italy to a dynamic and growing Australian team, which already has strong collaborations with researchers in the UK, the US, Japan, and Taiwan. In the long-run, Australia stands to benefit indirectly from the research as it is a significant user of semiconductors across all major industries. More importantly, by anticipating the problems that electronic device manufacturers will face over their long-term horizons, the proposed research also seeks to provide Australia with a chance to lift its involvement in the multi-trillion dollar global semiconductor industry.
