Nanotechnology Computer Aided Design

The NANOTCAD project has four main objectives:

1. The development and the validation of a software package for the simulation and the design of a wide spectrum of devices, based both on semiconductors and on transport through single molecules.

2. The demonstration of a procedure for the realization of prototype nano-scale devices based on detailed modeling.

3. The design, fabrication, characterization and optimization of single and double quantum-dot HFETs for use as single /few electron memories, and resonant tunneling diodes based on InGaAs dots.

4. The design, fabrication, characterization and optimization of molecular field effect transistors based on Mott transition.
