主题范围
Nanoelectronics represents a critical frontier in overcoming fundamental scaling limits of conventional semiconductor technologies, enabling ultra-scaled, energy-efficient, and high-performance systems. This field is rapidly evolving through innovations in quantum-engineered materials and post-CMOS device architectures, driving the development of next-generation nanoelectronic technologies. This focus collection aims to highlight cutting-edge research in the synthesis and integration of novel materials (such as 1D/2D materials), the development of innovative transistor technologies (e.g. FETs, FinFETs, nanowire FETs), and the realization of next-generation computational and neuromorphic circuits.

This focus collection seeks original research contributions that address challenges and innovations in device modelling, quantum transport, flexible electronics, nanoscale interconnects, and hardware accelerators. The Collection particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies bridging material synthesis, device-level innovations, and system-level implementations.

Topics of interest include:

  • Synthesis and integration of 1D/2D materials for nanoelectronic applications
  • High-k dielectrics, ferroelectrics, and phase-change materials
  • Emerging transistor technologies (Tunnel FETs, FinFETs, Nanowire FETs, NCFETs)
  • Flexible, stretchable, and wearable nanoelectronics
  • Neuromorphic computing and memristive devices
  • Quantum transport, modeling, and simulation
  • Computational circuits and hardware accelerators using emerging devices
  • Nanoscale interconnects, heterogeneous, and 3D integration
  • Radiation-hardened and thermally stable nanoelectronic devices
  • Nanoelectronic sensors and biomedical system integration
  • Low-power, energy-efficient, and sustainable nanoelectronic systems
