 WHAT IS NANOTECHNOLOGY?

 Nanotechnology deals with the study of

Materials of size 10-9 m.

 The materials in nanometer scale posses novel

properties such as high efficiency &
capacity than the normal materials.
 WHAT IS NANO CIRCUTRY?
 Nanocircuitry deals with minimization of circuit
size to nano scale.
 It helps the scientists & engineers in reduction
of the size of computers & other electronic
devices.
 The age of nanocircuitary begins with the
invention of nanotransistors & ultra capacitors.
 MOORE’S LAW:
moore’s law states that,”the
speed of the computer will be
doubled in every 18 to 24
months.
This is made possible by
increasing the number of
transistors fitted into a circuit.
ULTRA-CAPACITORS
 CAPACITORS ARE ENERGY SAVING
DEVICES.
 THEY CONSIST OF TWO TERMINALS
EACH STORE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE
CHARGES.
 THE ULTRA CAPACITORS ARE MADE
FROM CARBON NANO TUBES.
 THEY HAVE HIGH
RELIABILITY,COMPACTNESS.
 TRANSISTORS:
 Transistors are the devices that forms the
integral parts of the circuit.
 Transistors converts the weak signals into
stronger signals.
 To convert the transistors to nano scale we
are in need of switch on to carbon base
instead of silicon.

HUGE SIZE TO NANO-CIRCUITS
 CARBON NANOTUBES

 CARBON NANO TUBES ARE THE BASIC

BUILDING BLOCKS OF NANO CIRCUITS.
 THEY ARE COMPOSED OF C-40 ATOMS.
 THEY ARE PATENTED BY IBM.
 LATEST NANOPRODUCTS
 I-POD NANO developed by
apple in 2007.
 Processors developed by IBM
&VIA technologies.

 RISKS:

 The electronics scientists need to develop new

circuits to cope with nano circuits working with
carbon nanotubes .
 The transistors will be 100 times smaller than
the thickness of human hair so it is difficult to
identify the problems in it.
 The ultracapacitors produces high heat, till
today there is no remedy given to cool it.
OTHER APPLICATIONS OF
NANOCOMPUTING:

 DISPLAYS
 QUANTUM COMPUTERS
