Description/Abstract | The integrated circuit created a multi-billion-dollar industry, revolutionizing consumer electronics, military systems, communications, computers, and our entire way of life.^This electronics revolution has been fueled by the unrelenting miniaturization of transistors, which has permitted commensurate increases in the complexity and sophistication of integrated circuits.^This paper discusses how continuing the electronics revolution into the next century will require a radical departure from the conventional types of electronic devices and circuits that we have used until now.^One possibility is quantum-effect electronics.^In this area of research, semiconductor structures are made small enough to exploit the quantum nature of electrons. |
