Abstract

This paper describes a technological approach which combines the nanoscale elements available from molecular devices and self-assembled molecular/nanoparticle systems with semiconductor devices which can provide the gain or bistability required for computational functionality. The architectural motivation for these configurations and experimental demonstrations of several key technologies for this hybrid approach are described
