Abstract :
Suitable architectures and paradigm shifts in assembly and usage models will make it possible to exploit the compactness and energy benefits of single-nanometer dimension devices and allow extending these structures into the third dimension without depending on top-down lithography to define the smallest feature sizes in a system.
