Nanotechnology Makes:
 Smaller Transistors
 Smaller Memory
 Smaller Circuitry
Nanotechnology
in Computer Processing
Moore’s Law
Moore’s Law describes a
trend of technology. It states
that the number of transistors
that can be put on a single
chip will double every two
years.
Transistors
Instead of making
transistor
components and
assembling them on
a board, Nano scale
transistors are
grown together on a
silicon wafer. They
look much different
from the traditional
transistors
Nano Transistor
Because of
nanotechnology,
the speed of
computers has
increased while the
price of computing
has decreased
Nanotechnology
in Memory and Storage
This is a 2
gigabyte hard
drive. It weighs
about 70 pounds.
It was first used in
the 1980s. Its cost
at that time
ranged from
$80,000 to
$140,000
2 GB in 1980s
$80,000
2 GB in 1990s
$200
2 GB in 2010
$5
Nanotechnology
in Displays
Nanotubes are
small enough
that they cannot
be seen, so
they can be
great
conductors to
be used as
transparent
contacts
These layers contain transparent electrodes
Carbon
nanotubes on a
glass or plastic
sheet allow
manufacturers to
make clear
conductive
panels for
displays that are
extremely thin.
Nanotechnology
in Circuitry
To see the
circuitry,
researchers use
an electron
microscope or an
atomic force
microscope. This
image shows
different levels of
a circuit
conclusion
At this movement the main
limitation is the high cost of
nanotechnology. Also concerns
with the environmental effects.
