Abstract
As semiconductor technology continues to drive the scaling of electronic device dimensions into the ultrasubmicron, nanodimensional regime, many ultrasmall and ultrafast concepts and phenomena will continue to be put forth for notional consideration. The stunning achievements of nanofabrication in the last decade now allow for band-engineering and atomic-level structural tailoring not heretofore available or explorable except through naturally occurring atomic and molecular processes. Indeed, the techniques of atomic layer epitaxy facilitate the growth of structures atomic layer by atomic layer; as well, advanced lithographic techniques are capable of defining “lateral” structures with an accuracy of about 50 Angstroms.
