Redesigning the transistor at the atomic-scale

澳大利亚研究人员在原子级电子学方面处于世界领先地位。通过开发强大的新制造技术，澳大利亚科学家现在准备揭示在原子尺度上运行的电子系统的物理特性。这项研究将具有国际意义，为澳大利亚科学提供持续的国际形象。也许更重要的是，它还将为传统晶体管的未来升级和重新设计奠定基础。从长远来看，它为澳大利亚提供了一个机会，以提高其在数万亿美元的全球半导体行业的参与。

Australian researchers have a world-wide leadership position in atomic-scale electronics. Through the development of powerful new fabrication technologies, Australian scientists are now poised to uncover the physical properties of electronic systems operating on the atomic-scale. This research will be internationally significant, providing ongoing international profile for Australian science. Perhaps more significantly, it will also lay the groundwork for future miniaturisation - and redesign - of the conventional transistor. Over the longer-term, it offers an opportunity for Australia to lift its involvement in the multi-trillion dollar global semiconductor industry.
