The 2012 Silicon Nanoelectronics Workshop is a satellite workshop of the 2012 VLSI Symposia sponsored by the IEEE Electron Device Society. It will be held on June 10-11, 2012 at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu, Hawaii USA. This will be the seventeenth workshop in the annual series. Original papers on nanometer-scale devices and technologies which utilize silicon or which are based on silicon substrates are welcome.

Scope

•Sub-10 nm transistors, including those employing non-classical structures, novel channel and source/drain materials, or non-thermal injection mechanisms

•Junction and insulator materials and process technology for nanoelectronic devices

•Techniques for fabrication of nanostructures, including nanometer-scale patterning

•Physics of nanoelectronic devices, e.g. quantum effects, non-equilibrium transport

•Modeling/simulation of nanoelectronic devices, e.g. including atomistic effects

•Nanoscale surface, interface, and heterojunction effects in devices

•Device scaling issues including doping fluctuations and atomic granularity

•Circuit design issues and novel circuit architectures, including quantum computing, for nanoelectronic devices

•Optoelectronics using silicon nanostructures
