4. Applications
Among the materials with the greatest potential for the development of "post-CMOS" nanoelectronics, carbon nanotubes, graphene and silicon nanowires are of particular interest. Here, we present applications of quantum transport simulation to these three types of material.
4.1 Quantum transport in silicon nanowires
Silicon nanowires (figure 6 ) are semiconductor nano-objects obtained by catalytic growth methods. They offer significant technological potential, given the greater ease with which these materials can be integrated into conventional CMOS technologies, even...
