Funded Activity Summary

Atomic-scale Devices in Silicon - the Ultimate Limit of Microelectronics. Miniaturisation is the driving force behind the microelectronics industry, but beyond 2015 there is no known route to reduce device sizes below 10nm. The Fellowship will launch a major new initiative for the fabrication of silicon electronic devices at the atomic-scale (0.1nm). The project will exploit recent advances in scanning probe techniques to develop smaller and faster conventional transistors, nanoscale integrated circuits, and address device reproducibility at this scale. This will extend Australia's early lead in atomic-scale silicon electronics to the stage where interested industry partners can evaluate it commercially in a way that will maximise benefits to Australia.
