Guest Editors: F. Jain, C. Broadbridge, M. Gherasimova and H. Tang
Volume 29, Issue 01n04 (March, June, September, December 2020)
This Special issue on Nanotechnology for Electronics, Biosensors, Additive Manufacturing and Emerging Systems Applications comprises peer reviewed articles selected from the 29th annual symposium of the Connecticut Microelectronics and Optoelectronics Consortium (CMOC), virtually held on October 2, 2020 and hosted by Information Technology Staff, University of Connecticut (Storrs Campus).
Organized by a team of seven academic institutions and about eighteen companies across the United States, this symposium sign-posted the progress and development of state-of-arts research in high-speed electronics over the last 30 years.
Articles include keynote presentations by three experts in their field:
- Dr. H. Lee, Electronic and IR Sensing in Forensics, U. New Haven, and Henry Lee Center for Forensic Research
- Dr. E. Fossum, Quanta Image Sensor, Dartmouth College
- Dr. J. Chow, Quantum Computing, IBM Thomas J. Watson, Research Center
The papers presented span from novel materials and devices, biosensors and bio- nano- systems, artificial intelligence, robotics and emerging technologies, to applications in each of these fields, Systems for implementing data with security tokens; single chemical sensor for multi-analyte mixture detection; RF energy harvesters; additively manufactured RF devices for 5G, IoT, RFID and smart city applications are also included in this special issue on high performance materials for implementing high-speed electronic systems.
In the area of material synthesis, modeling of dislocations behavior in various II-VI and III-V heterostructures and their gettering at sidewall bringing novel approaches are also featured
Coming hot on the heels, are recent developments on high performance devices include equivalent circuits models at room and 4.2K; quantum dot nonvolatile memories, 3D- confined quantum dot channel (QDC) and spatial wavefunction switched (SWS) FETs for high-speed multi-bit logic and novel system applications.
In summary, the papers selected for this special issue cover various aspects of h performance materials and emerging devices for implementing high-speed electronic systems. We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to the authors, participants, and reviewers for their contributions and active participation, networking, and knowledge sharing on a variety of research areas.
