Note: Nano-Microelectronics introduces new methods for making nanotransistors on a small scale, measuring  several tens of nanometers, which is derived from a science called nanotechnology.

Unlike today's nanotransistors, which behave based on the mass motion of electrons in matter, new devices follow the phenomena of nanoscale quantum mechanics in which the discrete nature of the electron can no longer be ignored. By shrinking all the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the transistor, the electric charge density in the various regions of the nanotransistor  increases, or in other words, the number of electrical charges per unit area of ​​the nanotransistor increases. This has two  negative consequences: First, by increasing the density of the electric charge, the possibility of discharging the electric charge from the insulated areas of the transistor increases   , and this event causes damage to the transistor and its failure. This is similar to the discharge of  additional electrical charge between the cloud and the ground in the phenomenon of lightning, which ionizes air molecules into  negative and positive ions. Secondly As the density of the electric charge increases, the electrons may move  out of the radius of an atom and into the radius of the adjacent atom, under the influence of thrust or abduction forces that have now increased. In quantum physics, this  is called tunneling. Electron tunneling from one atom to an adjacent atom is a phenomenon that occurs on a  small scale between electrons. This phenomenon is the basis of some electronic components and some  nanoscopes. But in nanotransistors this is not a useful phenomenon, because the tunneling of electrons from one atom to an adjacent atom may  continue and cause an electric current. Although this electric current may be very  small, because it is unintended and unpredictable, it acts as a leakage path for electric current. And changes the electrical behavior of the nanotransistor.



We divide these devices into three parts: 

1) Carbon nanotube tezansistors

2) Single electronic devices

3) Molecular nanoelectronic devices

Using nano-wire as a metal-oxide-channel semiconductor field A nano-effect transistor can enable a structure around a gate to perform an excellent electrostatic gate control over the channel to reduce short-channel effects. Which has been in the structure of nanocircuits and  the basis of electronic nanoparticles for computing devices.



Conclusion : 

Nano-Microelectronics is developing new methods for making nanotransistors on a small scale, measuring  several tens of nanometers, which is derived from a science called nanotechnology.
