Plenum DATE 2012

At this year's Design Automation and Test Concerence in Europe, the NANO-TEC project presented its current status and achievements. In an Embedded Tutorial in the Special Session 2.8. entitled "Beyond CMOS - Benchmarking for Future Technologies" some of the project partners introduced NANO-TEC to about 50 attendants from the design community.

Clivia M Sotomayor Torres
Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology,
Barcelona, Spain,
Coordinator of NANOTEC
introduced the session

Wolfgang Rosenstiel
University of Tübingen and edacentrum,
Germany
and General Chair of DATE 2012
co-moderated the discussion

Of key importance is to address the technological challenges posed by the emerging nanoelectronic concepts, of which a selection will be presented within the tutorial. After an overview on emerging technologies and their design aspects the embedded tutorial will present first benchmarking results for beyond CMOS technologies. Parameters to be considered include gain, signal/noise ration, non-linearity, speed, power consumption, architecture and integrability, efficiency, tolerances and manufacturability as well as the timeline of each potential technology.
