3. INTRODUCTION
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R3
What is “Nano”?
Nano in Greek means ‘dwarf’ but in
actual Nano is even smaller than dwarf
i.e atomic level of anything.
5. NANOTECHNOLOGY
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R5
Nanotechnology is the study of
manipulating matter on an atomic scale.
Nanotechnology refers to the
constructing and engineering of the
functional systems at very micro level or
we can say at atomic level.
A Nanometer is one billionth of a
meter, roughly the width of three or four
atoms. The average human hair is about
25,000 nanometers wide.
6. What is a Carbon Nanotube?
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R6
A Carbon Nanotube is a tube-shaped
material, made of carbon, having a
diameter measuring on the nanometre
scale.
Carbon Nanotubes are formed from
essentially the graphite sheet and the
graphite layer appears somewhat like a
rolled-up continuous unbroken
hexagonal mesh
Nanotubes are members of the fullerene
8. Need of Nanotechnology in
Electronics
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R8
Today microelectronics are used and
they solve our most of the problems.
The two exceptional disadvantages of
micro electronics are
Physical size
Increasing cost of fabrication of
integrated circuits.
• To overcome these disadvantages
nanotechnology can be used.
10. COMPUTER PROCESSING
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R10
Moore’s Law
It describes a trend of technology. It
states that the number of Transistors
that can be put on a single chip will
double every two years.
Currently an 1 GB ram contains 8 billion
transistors inside the chip.
12. Displays
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R12
Carbon nanotubes on a glass or plastic
sheet allow manufacturers to make clear
conductive panels for displays that are
extremely thin.
13. FUTURE SCOPE IN
NANOTECHNOLOGY
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R13
Nanotechnology for flexible Electronics
Nanotechnology for wireless devices
Nanotechnology for molecular devices
14. NANOTECHNOLOGY FOR
FLEXIBLE ELECTRONICS
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R14
Stretchable electronics or flexible
electronics is likely to be the future of
mobile electronics.
Potential applications include wearable
electronic devices, biomedical uses,
compact portable devices, and robotic
devices.
In the future, it is likely that Graphene
will become a dominant material in
flexible electronics.
15. GRAPHENE
SABARI KANNAN.M.M , VENU KUMAR .R15
Graphene is nothing but an allotrope of
carbon that has superb electrical conductivity,
flexibility, and physical strength.
